FAFO >Donald Trump is making a bold pitch to protect the United States Dollar. >The U.S. dollar is increasingly under threat as the global reserve currency due to rising debt and de-dollarisation efforts by the likes of China, Russia and other BRICS nations. >If the U.S. were to lose its status as the global reserve currency, this would likely lead to rising inflation, higher borrowing costs and a general loss of overall economic influence. >BRICS nations have floated the idea of creating their own alternative currency, a proposal that has gained significant traction in recent years. >However, Trump has no intention of letting this happen under his watch, as he explained in a post on Truth Social on Thursday evening. >He wrote: >>The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER. >>We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile 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. >>They can go find another sucker Nation. There is no chance that BRICS will 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! >. .
