Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar - eviltoast

Summary

Trump has threatened 100% tariffs on BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and others) if they pursue de-dollarization efforts, including creating a new currency to challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance in global trade.

Trump warned these nations could lose access to the U.S. economy.

BRICS members, frustrated by U.S. financial dominance, have explored alternatives, with Russia advocating for a new payment system to bypass sanctions.

Analysts say the dollar’s global reserve status remains secure in the near term despite these challenges.

    Euro, Rupees, Coffee-Dollar. So many possibilities and since the US Dollar isnt tied to Gold anymore any other currency is as valid for global trade. Heck let’s call it credits.
