Trump warns BRICS nations against creating a rival currency to the U.S. dollar, threatening 100% tariffs. Putin praises BRICS as a pillar of a new world order.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday (November 30) demanded that BRICS member countries commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency that would replace the United States dollar or face 100% tariffs.
"We require 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," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
"They can go find another 'sucker'. There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America."
On November 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the BRICS countries demonstrate an example of constructive cooperation and are the basis of a new just world order.
