Summary

Trump has threatened BRICS nations with 100% tariffs if they attempt to replace the US dollar as the global reserve currency, calling them “seemingly hostile countries.”

BRICS, which includes major economies like China, India, and Russia, has been discussing an alternative reserve currency, especially after Western sanctions on Russia.

The power of the US dollar in the world has strengthened recently. It remains the world’s primary reserve currency and there is a huge worldwide reliance on it.

    Tariff, tariff, tariff. It’s all he ever does when it comes to any other country doing something he doesn’t like. As if that solves all international issues.

    Weird how no other country has such a policy and they seem to do fine…

      He learned a new word and is using it all the time. Hopefully leaders will grow tired of it and just call his bluffs.

        Too bad he still doesn’t understand the concept behind the word. Hopefully it will bite him in the ass when the price of literally everything goes up.

      Now, that’s not true.

      You can pick any poor country at random, and you’ll find that one policy there with almost no exceptions.

        You’re right, I wasn’t thinking about colossal shitholes.
