Will Trump’s Tariff Strategy Backfire and Strengthen BRICS?

BRICS Bloc to Trump: Your Dollar Dictatorship Ends Here

The BRICS bloc—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—is tightening its grip on the dream of de-dollarization. For two years, these nations have quietly built a financial revolution, trading in their own currencies and sidestepping the greenback. This effort isn’t just a rebellion against Uncle Sam’s sanctions; it’s a long-overdue rejection of Western economic imperialism.

But now, with Trump back in the driver’s seat and barking threats of 100% tariffs, Washington hopes to strong-arm the world back into line. Fat chance.

This week, Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov didn’t mince words. “More and more countries are switching to the use of national currencies in their trade and foreign economic activities,” he said, pointing out the obvious: America’s coercion tactics are gasoline on the de-dollarization fire.

Peskov’s message is clear: Trump’s threats to “address” these nations’ defiance won’t just fail—they’ll accelerate the very trend he’s desperate to stop.

The Weaponization of the Dollar Backfires

Here’s the dirty little secret Washington doesn’t want you to know: the U.S. has been weaponizing the dollar for decades. From sanctions that suffocate economies to currency manipulation that enriches the elite, the dollar’s dominance has been a tool of control, not cooperation. But like any tool wielded too recklessly, it’s starting to break.

The BRICS bloc saw the writing on the wall when Western sanctions hit Russia like a sledgehammer. Rather than folding, they pivoted. Now, Russia and its BRICS allies are showing the world that local currencies can bypass the dollar’s chokehold.

And Trump? His promise to lift sanctions on Moscow doesn’t look like détente—it looks like desperation. If Putin’s recent comments are any indication, the BRICS bloc won’t ditch the dollar entirely, but they’re not backing down from their mission to weaken its stranglehold.

What’s Next? A World Without Dollar Dominance

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Trump’s rhetoric—that losing dollar supremacy would be like “losing a war”—isn’t hyperbole. He’s laying bare the reality Washington elites have feared for decades.

But the world is changing, and Trump’s tariffs are a relic of a bygone era. They’re not going to scare BRICS into submission; they’re going to embolden them. Russia’s call for more nations to embrace local currencies will resonate with every country that’s been on the receiving end of America’s financial bullying.

So here we are, standing on the brink of a financial revolution. The dollar’s days as the unchallenged global currency are numbered, and no amount of tariffs, sanctions, or empty threats can turn back the clock.
