US President Donald Trump issued a dull warning to BRICS countries on Thursday, declaring that he would face 100% tariffs on all import duties on the US as he proceeded with the launch of a common currency. He also insisted that “Brick is dead.” The statement came hours before a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, despite India being one of the founding members of the bloc.
Trump’s poignant remarks about BRICS challenge its global impact and relevance.
“Brick was put there for a bad purpose… I told them if they wanted to play a game with dollars, and they would be hit with 100% tariffs. They want to do that On the day they say they will come back and we beg you, we told you.
He said, “The moment Brick says that if he ruins the dollar, he’ll get 100% tariffs, Brick is dead. Brick is dead.”
Trump also pointed out his position with warnings when asked about Brazil, Russia, India and China establishing their own currency, saying, “If a transaction is made, it will be at least 100% tariffs.” . His comments come amid growing tensions over international trade practices and a broader strategy on tariffs.
Despite Prime Minister Modi’s presence in Washington, DC, Trump has not withheld strong rhetoric against the BRICS block. His firm stance underscores his broader strategy of imposing mutual tariffs on countries that impose duties on US imports.
“Today is a big thing: mutual tariffs,” Trump wrote on his social media platform ahead of the announcement. He added: It’s very simple. “This approach is aimed at major trading countries, including those within the BRICS group.
