(AmericanProsperity.com) – As part of his powerful America First agenda, President-elect Donald Trump warned BRICS nations: mess with the U.S. and face the consequences.
In a powerful message shared on his Truth Social platform, Trump made it clear that he will not tolerate any attempt to replace the U.S. dollar with any other currency.
The President-elect’s ultimatum targets the BRICS group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and newcomers Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates – a coalition representing a staggering 45% of the world’s population.
“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” Trump declared.
Trump’s stance comes in response to growing concerns about the BRICS nations’ efforts to challenge the dollar’s global dominance.
These countries have been exploring alternatives to the U.S.-led financial system, including creating their own currency backed by member nations and gold reserves.
“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.
“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,” he added.
This tough stance is a direct response to statements from leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has accused the United States of “weaponizing” the dollar.
Trump’s proposed tariffs seek to protect American interests and maintain economic stability.
The President-elect’s commitment to putting America first is evident in his broader economic strategy.
He has also proposed tariffs on other nations, including a 10% to 20% tariff on all imports and a separate 60% rate for Chinese products.
As the BRICS nations continue to challenge the U.S.-led financial system, including discussions on de-dollarization and trading in non-dollar currencies, Trump’s stance serves as a powerful deterrent.
While some may criticize Trump’s approach, it is clear that his America First policies have consistently delivered results.
The U.S. dollar remains the dominant global currency, representing 58% of foreign exchange reserves.
