Trump warns BRICS nations: if you replace US dollar, you face 100% tariffs

President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, in a direct warning to BRICS countries said the US requires a commitment from these 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.

“They can go find another ‘sucker!’ There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America,” Trump wrote on X.

Formed in 2009, BRICS is an intergovernmental organisation comprising nine countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates – and was originally identified to highlight investment opportunities.

BRICS is the only major international group of which the United States is not a part. Over the past few years a few of its member countries, excluding India and in particular Russia and China, are seeking an alternative to the US Dollar or create own BRICS currency.

“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” the president-elect said in the post on  X.

India, a key pillar of BRICS, has said it is against de-dollarisation.

India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had said during his appearance at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in October this year that India does not support de-dollarisation.

” I think you have confused us with someone else because we have never actively targeted the dollar. That’s not part of either our economic policy or our political or our strategic policy. Some others may have,” news agency PTI quoted Jaishankar as saying.

“What I will tell you is a natural concern there. We often have trade partners who do not have dollars to take. So, we now have to look at whether we forgo dealings with them or do we find some settlement which works otherwise. So, there’s no, I can say malicious intent vis-a-vis the dollar in business. WE are trying to do our business,” he said.

“Sometimes you make it difficult in the use of dollars. We have some trade partners with whom trade in dollars becomes difficult because of your policies. We have to obviously look for workarounds. But for us, as we spoke about rebalancing, we spoke about multiple obviously all of this is also going to reflect on currencies and economic needs,” said Jaishankar.
