🇺🇸 Trump vs. BRICS: Is a currency war coming?😱
Donald Trump stirred controversy this Thursday (30) by warning that he will impose a 100% tariff on BRICS countries if they create a new currency and stop using the dollar in international trade.

🔎 Why is this relevant?

🔺 The possibility of a BRICS currency has been discussed for a long time, but now, with Russia pushing the initiative, the scenario is more concrete. The main goal would be to reduce dependence on the dollar and mitigate the impact of international sanctions. It is speculated that this new currency could be backed by gold or based on a basket of currencies composed of the Brazilian real 🇧🇷, Russian ruble 🇷🇺, Indian rupee 🇮🇳, Chinese yuan 🇨🇳, and South African rand 🇿🇦.

⚠️ Trump’s response

🔺 "If they think they can get rid of the dollar and keep selling to the U.S., they are very wrong," Trump stated on Truth Social. He also warned of the possibility of applying 100% tariffs on BRICS countries' exports as retaliation.

📌 Key points

🔺 Are the BRICS moving towards their own currency? Yes, discussions are underway.

🔺 Will Trump allow this change without consequences? No, he has threatened strict trade measures.

🔺 If the bloc moves forward, the U.S. could respond with tariffs and economic sanctions.

🔺 Could Bitcoin strengthen in this scenario as an alternative to the dollar and the BRICS currency?
