Trump's Tweet from Nov 30, 2024 says it all...
"The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America."
"to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar" What's so mighty about the US Dollar? It's losing value via inflation and Trump knows it, he's not stupid. A Subway sandwich doesn't cost $5 anymore. When Biden froze the assets of Russia and they got cut off the SWIFT financial system it set the ball rolling for Trump's tweet up above.
