Trump Drops Nuclear Bomb On Dems — ‘Expect to Say Goodbye’
President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to confront BRICS efforts to establish a new currency aimed at challenging the US dollar’s global dominance, emphasizing the need to protect the American economy as inflation continues to strain American households after surging during much of the Biden administration.
Trump warned of severe economic repercussions, including 100% tariffs, for any BRICS member or allied nation that pursues a currency alternative to the dollar for international trade. Such measures, he stated, would significantly impact export-reliant economies like China, potentially isolating them not only from the US market but also from NATO-aligned nations.
Announcing his stance, Trump declared, “The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER.” He vowed to end what he described as America’s passive approach, stating that the US would no longer allow nations to exploit its economy while simultaneously competing against it.
Trump further demanded that countries seeking to trade with the United States commit to rejecting any alternative currency. “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,” he said.
He reiterated his determination to stop what he called unfair treatment of the United States, declaring, “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.”
The BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—are exploring alternatives to the US dollar, citing what they perceive as the militarization of the dollar through tariffs and economic sanctions. During a BRICS summit in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the United States for “weaponizing” the dollar, describing it as a “big mistake.”
President Putin explained that while Russia is willing to use the dollar, US policies have forced them to seek other options. “It’s not us who refuse to use the dollar. But if they don’t let us work, what can we do?” he said. “We are forced to search for alternatives.”
Trump’s response at the time was consistent, reiterating his promise to impose 100% tariffs on any nation that challenges the dollar’s supremacy in global trade.
