US President-elect Donald Trump issued a strong warning to BRICS nations, demanding a commitment to not create an alternative currency to the US dollar. In a Truth Social post, Trump declared that the idea of countries moving away from the dollar was "over," threatening 100% tariffs on nations that sought to replace it. Trump had previously pledged on the campaign trail to make such moves costly, using tariffs as leverage to maintain the dominance of the US dollar in global trade.
