“The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to abandon the dollar while we stand aside is over. We are going to demand a commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency nor support any other currency in place of the mighty US dollar,” US President Donald Trump wrote on his social media page, threatening to impose 100% tariffs on these countries.
“Otherwise, they will face 100% tariffs and should expect to say goodbye to selling anything to the wonderful US economy,” the US president-elect stressed.
According to the president, there is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US dollar in international trade or anywhere else.
“Any country that tries to do that will say hello to tariffs and goodbye to America,” he added.
