“You know, BRICS was trying to destroy our dollar. They wanted to create a new currency,” he said Thursday when addressing the Republican Governor’s Association in Washington. Trump also suggested that BRICS countries may want to use China’s yuan, Tass reports.
“So when I came in, the first thing I said was, ‘Even mentioning the destruction of the dollar, you’ll be charged a 150% tariff,” he said. I pointed it out. “We don’t want your products,” the US leader added.
According to Trump, he has heard nothing from BRICS after these threats. “I’ve never heard of it from BRICS recently,” the US president concluded.
Donald Trump previously said that if they set their own currency or give up on the dollar, they would impose a 100% tariff on imports from BRICS countries. He says that countries that try to replace the dollar to carry out international trade will say “farewell to America.”
