Divya Delhi: Before becoming the 47th US president, Trump warned that BRICS members that adopted a new currency would face 100% taxes on US imports. His new comments emphasize his administration's commitment to US dollar dominance in global commerce. Trump has again warned BRICS nations of taxes if they replace the US Dollar with another currency. Trump said on Truth Social, “The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER. We will require these seemingly hostile countries to commit to neither creating a new BRICS Currency nor backing any other currency to replace the US Dollar, or they will face 100% tariffs and be barred from selling into the US economy. Find another sucker nation. BRICS will never replace the U.S. Dollar in international trade or anywhere else, and any country that tries should say hello to tariffs and goodbye to America. The statement reiterated Trump's de-dollarisation attitude, threatening BRICS members to retain the US dollar's dominance in global trade oface economic consequences. He stated that any move to launch a new BRICS currency or back another alternative to the dollar will result in a total trade tax against those nations.Trump appears to oppose financial changes that could damage the US economy's global trade dominance.

Speaking on the topic, he stated that BRICS nations will face 100% tariffs if they even consider implementing what they planned, leading to immediate surrender. He also denied that the US was weak, citing former President Joe Biden. Trump said the US had leverage over BRICS, saying, “It’s not even a threat. Biden stated they have us over a barrel since my statement. I replied, We have them. No way they can accomplish that.” Before becoming the 47th US president, Trump warned that BRICS members that adopted a new currency would face 100% taxes on US imports.
