Trump - Threat of a loser...

 Threat of a loser . . .

President-elect Trump warned nations to forego efforts to adopt a new currency on Saturday by threatening to impose a 100 percent tariff on countries that try to undervalue the U.S. dollar.

“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,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“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.”

The nine-member organization known as BRICS initiated discussions surrounding the creation of their own currency system at their October summit in Kazan, Russia, where 13 new partner nations were welcomed.

The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, all original members, spoke openly about plans to create the “Unit,” a currency upheld by member nations and gold reserves.

China’s President Xi Jinping said the BRICS group is “a vanguard for advancing global governance reform” and “reform of the international financial architecture,” according to the Global Economic Report outlet.

Bolivia’s President Luis Arce argued that “the shield of BRICS and multipolarity” would protect the new member nation from “Western unipolarity and the tyranny of the dollar,” as reported in the article.

Many of the conjoined nations are looking to break away from the U.S. dollar which dominates currency and oil trading, as noted by the International Monetary Fund.

  4. India is the only country in BRICS not toeing the line over de-dollarization. That shows India has divided loyalty and cannot be a trusted member of BRICS. India thinks it is very smart to straddle two boats, thinking that should one boat sink, India is still safe with the other foot still hanging on. India has always been a country that wants the cake and eat it.

    When India joins any grouping, its intention is to make sure it can extract an advantage but will not contribute anything in return. That is even clearly evident in attracting investments, that ultimately ends up being swallowed by other local Indian companies. The Indians also thinks this is the smartness of Indians in doing business and that everyone else is stupid. The Indians obviously do not believe in the saying 'once bitten twice shy' and that foreign companies also can see what is happening and learning from it.

    Suffice to say, what is the point of destroying one's own credibility by resorting to short term gain at the expense of long-term benefit?

    1. India wants to overtake China and is trying for a short-cut by just taking over successful foreign companies doing business in India. What took China about 30 years to build up its manufacturing and economy, India wants to do it faster, cheaper and better, by just fiddling around with the law to take over foreign companies investing in India.

      So much for the hype by India of being a superpower and factory of the world that is now falling apart. You can't fool everyone just by using empty slogans without being able to achieve the desired objective.

  5. Singapore is the number two biggest investor in India after Mauritius, with US$167 billion invested. Never heard of India taking over Singapore companies and investments. Is this too good to be true? Singapore never talked about losing money in India or making money in India.
