Trump Threatens BRICS Nations with 100% Tariffs Over New Currency Plan
Former President Donald Trump has issued a harsh warning to the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – over their alleged plans to create an alternative currency to the U.S. dollar.
Trump, taking to his social media platform Truth Social, declared, "“Gagasan bahwa negara-negara BRICS berusaha untuk menjauh dari Dolar, sementara kita hanya berdiam diri dan mengawasi, sudah berlalu.” He further stated, “Kita memerlukan komitmen dari negara-negara ini bahwa mereka tidak akan menciptakan Mata Uang BRICS yang baru, atau mendukung Mata Uang lain untuk menggantikan Mata Uang Dolar AS yang perkasa.”
The move comes as the BRICS bloc, currently chaired by Russia, gains momentum. Trump has clearly indicated his intention to strongly resist any challenge to the dominant role of the U.S. dollar in global trade.
"If BRICS continues with its plan, the United States will retaliate with a 100% tariff on their goods," Trump declared on Truth Social. He added, "Say goodbye to selling your products in the powerful U.S. economy."
Trump emphasized that any nation seeking to replace the U.S. dollar internationally would face severe consequences, stating, "You say goodbye to America."
The BRICS nations, formed in 2006, have increasingly consolidated their economic and political influence on the world stage. Their potential move towards a new currency could have significant ramifications for the global financial system, potentially undermining the longstanding dominance of the U.S. dollar.
The former president’s ultimatum highlights the growing tensions between the United States and economies seeking to diversify away from the U.S. dollar-centric system. This standoff has the potential to reshape global trade and financial flows in the years to come.
“Gagasan bahwa negara-negara BRICS berusaha untuk menjauh dari Dolar, sementara kita hanya berdiam diri dan mengawasi, sudah berlalu,” tulis Trump yang dikutip Wartabanjar.com di platform media sosial miliknya, Truth Social.
“Kita memerlukan komitmen dari negara-negara ini bahwa mereka tidak akan menciptakan Mata Uang BRICS yang baru, atau mendukung Mata Uang lain untuk menggantikan Mata Uang Dolar AS yang perkasa,” kata Trump.
