Trump has challenged the BRICS nations, warning that countries aligned with the "anti-American policies" of the BRICS will face an additional 10% tariff. Moreover, Trump emphasized that there are "no exceptions."
Trump is making a big deal out of tariffs and is increasingly confident in America's "tariff card." This time, Trump has turned his attention to the BRICS nations.
The BRICS nations held a summit in Brazil, once again discussing the establishment of a common currency exchange system to counter American dollar hegemony. This has caused dissatisfaction among Trump.
Trump has reason to be fearful. In fact, Trump has launched a series of tariff wars since April, relying on America's dollar hegemony. If America's dollar hegemony collapses, Trump's extortion strategy would no longer work.
