Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump alisema alitishia BRICS kwa kutoza ushuru wa 150% kwa bidhaa ikiwa watatafuta sarafu mbadala ya dola. Muungano wa nchi tisa ulianza ajenda ya kuondoa dola baada ya Marekani kuishinikiza vikwazo dhidi ya Urusi mwaka 2022. China na Urusi zinaongoza mpango wa kuzishawishi nchi zinazoendelea kusuluhisha biashara ya sarafu za ndani.
"Unajua, mataifa ya BRICS yalikuwa yanajaribu kuharibu dola yetu ya Marekani. Walitaka kuunda sarafu mpya," Trump alisema Alhamisi alipokuwa akihutubia Chama cha Magavana wa Republican mjini Washington. Pia alipendekeza kuwa muungano huo ulitaka kutumia Yuan ya Uchina kwa makazi ya biashara badala ya dola ya Marekani.

US President Donald Trump said that he threatened BRICS with 150% tariffs on goods if they seek an alternative currency to the dollar. The alliance of nine countries kick-started the de-dollarization agenda after the US pressed sanctions on Russia in 2022. China and Russia spearhead the initiative convincing developing countries to settle trade in local currencies.
You know, the BRICS states were trying to destroy our US dollar. They wanted to create a new currency,” Trump said on Thursday when addressing the Republican Governors Association in Washington. He also suggested that the alliance wanted to use the Chinese yuan for trade settlements instead of the US dollar.
“So, when I came in, the first thing I said is ‘any BRICS state that even mentions the destruction of the US dollar will be charged a 150% tariff,'” he noted. “We don’t want your goods,” the US President added.
