President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to the BRICS nations, threatening to impose 100% tariffs if they attempt to replace the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. The BRICS consortium, which initially included Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has recently expanded to include Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, the UAE, and Indonesia, now representing a significant portion of the world’s population and economic output.

Trump’s message, delivered through his social media platform Truth Social, was clear.

“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 further emphasized the consequences of such a move, stating, “We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency, nor back any other currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy.”

For as long as Trump is in office, BRICS will be on the backfoot.

BRICS’ Growing Influence and Currency Discussions

The BRICS bloc, formed in 2009, has been a significant economic force, accounting for nearly 45% of the world’s population and 35% of global GDP by purchasing power parity. The group’s recent expansion has only increased its potential influence on the global stage. Discussions within BRICS about creating a shared currency, potentially called the Unit and backed by gold and local currencies, have raised concerns in Western financial circles.

These discussions have gained momentum, particularly in light of Western sanctions related to the Ukraine conflict. Chinese and Russian officials have been vocal in their criticism of the U.S. dollar’s dominance and its geopolitical implications. However, despite these challenges, the U.S. dollar has recently strengthened its position due to a robust American economy.

Trump’s tariff threats are not limited to the BRICS nations. He has also announced potential 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, set to take effect soon. The decision on whether to include oil in these tariffs is still pending, with Trump stating, “We may or may not” include it.

The U.S. is entering a whole new era!
