  • President-elect Donald Trump has issued a direct threat to the BRICS countries, telling them to back off from any plans to create a new currency. If they don't, Trump says he'll slap a brutal 100% tariff on their goods and cut them out of the US market for good.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's reaction to the potential de-dollarization efforts by the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on countries that attempt to dethrone the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. He warned of a "permanent breakup" with these nations, suggesting severe economic repercussions if they continue to challenge the dollar's dominance. This statement comes in the context of increasing discussions among BRICS nations about reducing their reliance on the U.S. dollar in international trade, potentially through mechanisms like a common currency or increased use of their own currencies in bilateral trade. Trump's comments reflect his administration's hardline stance on maintaining the dollar's global financial supremacy.
