The US president wrote on the social media platform: “The idea that the Brics countries are trying to move away from the dollar, while we stand by and watch, is over.” Brics alliance consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. He wrote: “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 US dollar or, they will face 100 per cent tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US economy.” He continued: “They can go find another sucker Nation. There is no chance that Brics will replace the US dollar in international trade, or anywhere else, and any country that tries should say hello to tariffs, and goodbye to America!” While the US dollar remains the dominant currency in global trade and has withstood previous challenges to its supremacy, members of the alliance and other developing nations argue they are increasingly frustrated with America’s control over the global financial system. At a summit of Brics nations in October, Russian president Vladimir Putin accused the US of “weaponising” the dollar and described it as a “big mistake”.
