U.S. President Donald Trump, on a determined note, reiterated his intent to impose tariffs on the BRICS group if they forge a substantial alliance. Trump emphasized that such a coalition would disband rapidly once meaningful formations were attempted.
Trump mentioned, without specifying the countries, that the BRICS alliance, comprising six nations, would face significant challenges from the U.S. if they ever truly unite.
Furthermore, he affirmed his dedication to maintaining the dollar's primacy as the global reserve currency and vowed to prevent the formation of a central bank digital currency in the United States.
