Trump Aims to Dismantle BRICS in 2025
Donald Trump unveils his radical strategy to counter the monetary ambitions of the BRICS. In the face of their common currency project, he threatens to impose 100% tariffs on any country that would adopt it. This muscular approach masks secret negotiations that could reshape the global monetary order.
Trump wants to impose 100% tariffs
Trump wields the ultimate economic weapon: 100% tariffs on imports from any country using the BRICS currency. This threat, if implemented, would instantly double the prices of imported goods in the American market.
This strategy particularly targets China, the world’s largest exporter, but would affect all BRICS countries. The objective is clear: to make the adoption of an alternative to the dollar in international trade economically impossible.
Behind this aggressive posture lies a more subtle approach. Trump uses the threat of tariffs as a negotiation lever, a tactic he had successfully employed during his first term.
Trump prepares a secret agreement with Putin
Well-informed sources mention the existence of a tripartite secret agreement between the United States, Russia, and China. Vladimir Putin reportedly indicated his willingness to accept a return to the dollar in exchange for the lifting of sanctions against Russia.
This pragmatic approach reflects the Russian view of the United States as a “wounded wild beast” that should be accompanied rather than confronted directly. Russia and China could temporarily accept the dominance of the dollar while waiting for the natural evolution of the balance of power.
Trump faces the issue of American debt
This strategy is set against a backdrop of explosive American debt. Debt will reach $37 trillion by early 2025, with an increase of $1 trillion every three to four months. This situation pressures the United States to maintain the hegemony of the dollar to continue financing its deficit.
BRICS countries, aware of this American vulnerability, are accumulating strategic gold stocks. China, in particular, is pursuing a discreet yet massive accumulation strategy, without revealing the true extent of its reserves.
The future of the international monetary system
The BRICS are developing an alternative compensation system to SWIFT, led by China. This system would allow secure and confidential trade exchanges, outside of American control.
The BRICS strategy could lean towards a transaction currency backed by a basket of assets including gold, rare earths, and other strategic resources. This approach would differ from the dollar, which relies solely on trust in the American economy.
China strikes back technologically
China is advancing its pieces in the technological domain. Its payment and compensation system is already operational and used by Russia. This infrastructure could serve as the basis for a future alternative monetary system.
Blockchain could also play a crucial role in this new system, enabling secure and nearly instantaneous transactions without going through dollar-dominated circuits.
Trump’s strategy towards the BRICS reveals a two-tier approach: public threat of massive economic sanctions and secret negotiations for a new global monetary balance. The outcome of this confrontation will largely depend on the American capacity to manage its explosive debt. The BRICS, for their part, could temporarily accept the dominance of the dollar while patiently preparing the emergence of an alternative system.
