If they go through with plans to create “a rival currency to the U.S. dollar” it means economic war. He’ll start with “100% tariffs.” The bloc needs to rethink its strategy before making any sudden moves, the president suggests.
Trump warns BRICS
A “bloc of nine nations” known as BRICS was put on notice, November 30, that President Donald Trump will slap tariffs equaling the price of the goods on any country who joins the economic conspiracy.
“The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” the president posted.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, along with their cohorts Iran, Egypt, Ethopia and the United Arab Emirates, “have suggested creating a BRICS currency to reduce the U.S. dollar’s dominance in global trade.” Don’t even think about thinking about it, Trump warns.
“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 means it.
Unlike the Democrats, Trump actually keeps his campaign promises. All the way along the campaign trail, he hammered the idea of “implementing widespread tariffs.”
It works so well that threats alone are bringing adversaries to the negotiating table for more realistic arrangements. He’s “escalated threats of steep levies in recent days.”
Find another sucker
Everyone knows that it’s America First with Donald Trump. “They can go find another sucker,” he snarled. Insiders aren’t going crazy over the rhetoric but are clearly getting Trump’s point.
When the press cornered Senator Ted Cruz about the rumors, the Republican from Texas pointed out the “importance of leverage.”
Threats of tariffs a lot lower than 100 percent are already producing results. “You look at the threat of tariffs against Mexico and Canada,” Cruz notes. Those “immediately” produced action.
The day after Thanksgiving, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dropped into Mar-a-Lago to see Trump without an appointment. They fed the rainbow sock wearing Prime Minister some leftover turkey, while he made a big effort to “head off a potential 25% tariff on Canadian goods heading south.”
The strategy was already explicitly confirmed by incoming Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. It’s a core part of the president’s negotiating strategy. “My general view is that at the end of the day, he’s a free trader,” Bessent explains. “It’s escalate to de-escalate.” Russia and North Korea have both been using the exact same tactic, lately.
Contrary to the way liberal media likes to spin it, President Trump understands prices on affected products would go up to the consumer. He also knows the “cost” to the offending nation is a whole lot higher. To the consumer it’s a mild inconvenience, to the exporting nation, it’s economic death.
