Trump threatens 100% tariffs on BRICS nations, will he do it? | Counting the Cost


The US dollar is the world’s reserve currency – used for nearly 80 percent of global trade.

Its dominance gives the United States major economic advantages and significant geopolitical influence across the world.

But many nations in the BRICS group of emerging economies accuse Washington of using the greenback as a political tool.

BRICS…

  1. His tarifs on bricks,Will not work and will not be different from Europe sanctioning Russia and become affected more than the sanctioned Russia.Trump only knows tarifs and tarifs can work on both ways,it will most likely hurt his country more than any one.

  2. So if Trump puts a 100% tariff on goods from Bric countries, I'd love to hear his explanation to the nation when the store shelves are bare, and you can't get parts to replace your broken belongings. I guess you could play golf like Trump and let someone else sort things out.

  3. Would love to see a reply from someone in the know or Al Jazeera study this point of view.

    China is doing all it can to inflate its rapidly deflating currency as its global value goes up, that is not enough, the dollar and Yuan are edging towards each other and the US is blaming China for this, now what if china realizes that while a common currency even in its lowest shared form allowing national currencies to exist would be the only way it can safely bleed money to outside nations and maintain its trade surplus. It tried the belt and road and african investments both both markets were sadly too small and become overpopulated with chinese money.

    What if Roughly speaking, Ruble finds shelter in yuans deflation, yuan finds shelter in common investment market it can sink money into and not just buy US dollars, and the minor nations find shelter from US trade threats?

    Thanks for reading.

  4. Not surprised by idea of an ignorant pretend male of having 100% tariffs and only in dollars. They already failing in businesses except to the terrorist Zionists who are milking fort Knox.
    Goodbye USA as it drowns in isolation and greed.
    Hello to many new countries who will join BRICS in other currency. Plus better trade terms and products that consumers actually need.

  5. This wouldnt be a smart idea it would only increase the number of countries who outright aren't allowed into the US world order and create a bigger market for the alternative order.

  6. "… a common currency": Is that anything like the Euro? Gosh! Britain said F-that! How did it hurt them? Not!

    The U.S. and Britain control, between them, some 90 percent of the world's currency. It sure looks like all the 'emerging' (Laughable to think of China, Russia, Brazil, et cetera as 'emerging countries'.) More like China and Russia making a power play!

  7. Hilarious. Then the BRICS countries should apply a 100% tariff on US goods, that would pretty much kill Boeing (it's on its last legs already). China alone needs about 10,000 planes during the next 20 years, they'll buy Airbus instead, and if Trump tries to stop the EU from selling into BRICS countries, good luck. But if he does do that, then China will, as it has done with Huawei, become independent and build its own planes.

  8. I have great respect for President Trump and USA but Why Africa must suffer. Brics must remain why Africa must be controlled dominated by the dollar. Stop it. Mr Elon with all due respect remember your roots. 2025 media has changed Africa does remembers so does the west.

  9. The sooner the U.S. accepts the change the better. If Washington couldn’t see the disenchantment on faces of the people of world being crushed under the weight of a.superpower out of control, then that’s their fault.

  10. We (anyone with a brain not Rees Mogg) know Trump lies, lies and cheats (even at golf) but he also exagerates and bluffs and talking about 100% sanctions literally is just helping him. Trump is saying America ripped off but he knows America uses financial clout for decades to bully others etc.
    Anyone who doesn't know what a tariff even is should not have a vote. Mist Trump voters lol.
