(RightIsRight.co) – To protect America’s economic interests and maintain the dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency, President-elect Donald Trump warned China and its BRICS allies not to try to undermine the U.S. dollar’s global dominance.
Trump delivered his message via Truth Social, demanding that the BRICS countries—which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—along with new members Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina, and the UAE—commit to not creating a new currency or backing any alternative to the U.S. dollar.
“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” Trump declared.
He continued, “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.”
The BRICS alliance, initially formed by China, Russia, Brazil, India, and South Africa, has been expanding its influence.
In 2023, it added six new members, signaling a growing coalition of nations seeking alternatives to U.S.-dominated economic systems.
Trump’s aggressive stance reflects the gravity of the situation. The U.S. dollar currently represents about 58% of the world’s foreign exchange reserves, a position of strength that Trump is determined to protect.
“They can go find another ‘sucker!'” Trump stated. “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.”
The inclusion of Iran in BRICS is particularly concerning, as it indicates growing cooperation between Iran, Russia, and China.
This alliance has been strengthening, especially in the wake of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
China’s support for Russia and Iran, countering U.S. sanctions, further underscores the need for a strong American response.
Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs is not limited to BRICS nations. He has also announced plans for a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada to address drug and illegal immigration issues.
While some analysts argued that the U.S. dollar’s status as the primary global reserve currency is secure in the near and medium term, Trump’s proactive approach ensures that any challenges to American economic supremacy will be met with swift and decisive action.
As geopolitical tensions rise and nations seek alternatives to U.S.-dominated systems, Trump’s warning serves as a reminder of America’s economic might and its willingness to use it.
