President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on BRICS countries if they move away from trading in U.S. dollars. He emphasized the importance of the dollar in international trade and warned that any country attempting to create a new currency would face severe economic consequences. The BRICS coalition, which includes major trading partners like India and China, has been discussing reducing dollar dependence, but experts doubt their success due to internal conflicts. Trump also threatened tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China in response to drug-related issues.
