00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has warned BRICS member countries against replacing the U.S.

00:06dollar as a reserve currency by repeating a 100% tariff strike he made weeks after winning

00:11the November presidential elections.

00:14He emphasized the need for a firm commitment from these seemingly hostile nations that

00:19they would neither create a new BRICS currency nor back any other currency to replace the

00:24U.S. dollar.

00:25At the time, Russia said that any attempt by the U.S. to compel countries to use the

00:29dollar would backfire.

00:31The BRICS grouping includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and a few other

00:37countries that joined in the past couple of years.

00:40BRICS does not have a common currency, but long-running discussions on the subject have

00:44gained some momentum after the West imposed sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine.

00:50Trump added that there was no chance BRICS would replace the U.S. dollar in international

00:54trade and warned that any country attempting to do so would say hello to tariffs and goodbye

00:59to America.
