Trump threatens BRICS with tariffs if they replace US dollar

That is so cool! I distil my own spirits and I make a good amount of illegally potent alcohol, but I've never heard about using them in baking. I will give it a try this weekend. Thank you

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!

[slopppyengineer@lemmy.world]

That's their idea. BRICS know they can't beat USA in a straight on fight. But using a different economic model, set up alternative trade, USA can be made irrelevant in the long. USA really likes to play for short term gains, what is a weakness that can be exploited, especially with a "it hurt itself in its confusion" leader.

That sounds delicious. What treatment toppings did you administer?

Have you seen that bronzer?! He must be some carrot, but it’s only skin deep.

I predict a huge collapse of tge us dollar before his term is up

[eldritchfeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

If the world is united against the US, why would they go to war with each other? They would all have a common enemy in a belligerent country run by an egotistical maniac.

Nothing unites people like a common enemy. Just look at how the Republicans get voted in and how Trump got elected again.

Rocket, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto crudo. It helped ease the pain.

Jfc, he's like a toddler with a new word, just jamming it in everywhere to see if it fits. Try the keys in the light socket while you're at it, Donnie!

[xanthobilly@lemmy.world]

Rocket?! To the moon, Elon. The rest of that sounds like woke foreign shit. /s

It won't

[reksas@sopuli.xyz]

us is going to run out of people to trade with at this rate

[fauxpseudo@lemmy.world]

Are we the bad guys?

Shame that he doesn't have the capacity to decide when to shit his pants.

Is time for the new and revamped BRICCSM to be a thing (annexing Canada and Mexico)

If you shirk responsibilities that come with power, you lose that power.

If you abuse trust put in you, you lose that trust.

America is screwing itself.

The BRICS are already trading without dollars. They might price things in USD, but the actual trades don't use USD.

But is he really gonna tariff 55% of the global population?

The world economy will just adjust to operate without the USA. It will be painful and take a few years, but it will also be irreversible.

To be frank, we don't need a global reserve currency in this digital age.
Businesses and consumers can cheaply trade any currency pairs with minimal costs.

The dollar's status is a leftover from the past.

ah yes, more lebensraum.
i hate this timeline

Ooooh wee, it's going to be a bumpy few years decades as Der Furher sends us into another once in a lifetime financial crisis.
