Trump Vows 100% Tariffs if BRICS Undermine U.S. Dollar

(EPICSTORIAN) – President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to BRICS nations, cautioning them against efforts to undermine the U.S. dollar’s dominance by creating a new joint currency.

Trump’s statement emphasized that any attempt by Brazil, Russia, India, China, or South Africa to introduce or support an alternative currency would not be tolerated.

“The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is over,” Trump declared.

He made it clear that the U.S. expects a firm commitment from the bloc members to abandon any plans for a new currency designed to rival the dollar. Failure to comply, he warned, would trigger severe economic retaliation.

Trump outlined the potential consequences, stating that BRICS nations could face 100% tariffs on their exports to the United States. Such a move would effectively close off one of the world’s most significant markets to these countries.

“They should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. economy. They can go find another ‘sucker!’” the incoming US President added emphatically.

BRICS Proposed Currency Headed for a Crash

Highlighting the U.S. dollar’s established role in international trade, he dismissed the notion that BRICS could succeed in replacing it. “There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. dollar in international trade,” he asserted.

The Republican-elected president further warned that any nation attempting to challenge the dollar should be prepared for economic isolation.

This development underscores escalating tensions between the U.S. and the ‘anti-west’ alliance as the group explores ways to reduce dependency on the dollar.

Observers believe that Trump’s tough rhetoric indicates a readiness to defend American economic interests aggressively. The coming months could see intensified economic maneuvering, with global markets closely watching how BRICS nations respond to this high-stakes warning.
