(StraightShooterNews.com) – President-elect Donald Trump did not mince words when he said, “Go find another sucker,” referring to China and its BRICS allies trying to replace the U.S. dollar as global dominance.
This bold move underscores Trump’s commitment to protecting American economic interests and maintaining the dollar’s supremacy in international trade.
Trump’s message comes as the BRICS alliance, originally consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has expanded to include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina, and the UAE.
This expansion, largely driven by China’s influence, aims to challenge Western economic dominance and introduce a shared currency backed by gold and local currencies.
“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.”
Later, he declared:
“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. 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.”
This strong stance against any attempts to replace the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency demonstrates Trump’s unwavering commitment to protecting American economic interests.
The threat of 100% tariffs would effectively shut out BRICS nations from the lucrative U.S. market, a prospect that would undoubtedly cause significant economic damage to these countries.
Trump’s warning is crucial when the BRICS alliance is actively considering de-dollarization strategies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the U.S. of “weaponizing” the dollar and has been advocating for alternatives to the SWIFT payment system to bypass Western sanctions.
However, the U.S. dollar remains the most used currency globally, representing about 58% of the world’s foreign exchange reserves.
Research indicates that the dollar’s status as the primary global reserve currency is secure in the near and medium term despite rival nations’ efforts to challenge its dominance.
Trump’s tariff threats are not limited to the BRICS nations. He has also announced potential tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada to address drug and illegal immigration issues.
As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, Trump’s aggressive stance serves as a powerful reminder of America’s economic leverage.
By threatening to use tariffs, Trump is sending a clear message to the world, meaning to attempt to undermine the U.S. dollar will be met with swift and severe economic consequences.
