A reader tipped me off to the following:<\/p>\n

December 1, 2024<\/p>\n

(Bloomberg) — US President-elect Donald Trump warned the so-called BRICS nations that he would require commitments that they would not move to create a new currency as an alternative to using the US dollar and repeated threats to levy a 100% tariff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,\u201d Trump said in a post to his Truth Social network on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Trump on his campaign trail pledged that he would make it costly for countries to move away from the US dollar. And he\u2019s threatened to use tariffs to ensure they complied. Saturday\u2019s threat took on new relevance as the president-elect prepares to retake power in January. https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/trump-demands-commitment-brics-nations-182124427.html<\/a><\/p>\n

BRICS had been made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa since 2011. Earlier this year, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and Egypt formally joined \u2014 the first expansion in over a decade. Thirty-four countries have submitted an expression of interest in joining the bloc of major emerging economies, South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor\u00a0said in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The leader of one member country, Brazil\u2019s Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, in 2023\u00a0proposed creating a common currency<\/a>\u00a0in South America to reduce reliance on the US dollar.<\/p>\n

Using BRICS currencies and banking networks outside the US dollar-denominated system\u00a0could allow<\/a> member countries such as Russia, China and Iran to circumnavigate Western sanctions. But the chances of a new currency are probably slim due to the alliance\u2019s economic and geopolitical differences. https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/11\/30\/politics\/trump-brics-currency-tariff\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

BRICS summit: Key takeaways from the Kazan declaration<\/h2>\n

By\u00a0<\/span>Reuters<\/span><\/div>\n

Below are the key points from the\u00a0Kazan declaration, opens new tab<\/a>\u00a0issued by the BRICS group after\u00a0a summit in Russia<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

ON WESTERN SANCTIONS:<\/h3>\n
“We are deeply concerned about the disruptive effect of unlawful unilateral coercive measures, including illegal sanctions, on the world economy, international trade, and the achievement of the sustainable development goals.”<\/div>\n

ON THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM’S REFORM:<\/h3>\n
“We underscore the need to reform the current international financial architecture to meet the global financial challenges including global economic governance to make the international financial architecture more inclusive and just.”\u00a0 https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/factobox-main-points-brics-declaration-2024-10-23\/<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Oct 24 (Reuters) – Russia this week hosted the first summit of the newly expanded BRICS club of emerging economies, with leaders agreeing a set of common\u00a0projects<\/a> ranging from a grain exchange to a cross-border payments system. …<\/p>\n

ING ANALYSTS DMITRY DOLGIN AND CHRIS TURNER<\/h3>\n
“President Putin seems to have kicked the idea of a single BRICS currency into the long grass. Instead, the focus is on decreasing the use of the dollar and, where possible, increasing the use of BRICS currencies.” https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/reactions-first-expanded-brics-summit-2024-10-24\/<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Can BRICS reshape the financial world order?<\/h2>\n

October 24, 2024<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

BRICS\u2019s first summit since its expansion in 2023 discussed proposals to reduce reliance on US dollar and SWIFT system.<\/p>\n

\n

BRICS has almost doubled in size in 2024 and its economic and political influence is growing.<\/p>\n

The group of emerging economies now represents about half the world\u2019s population and more than a quarter of global gross domestic product. …<\/p>\n

BRICS largely wants to reduce global reliance on the US dollar. https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/program\/counting-the-cost\/2024\/10\/24\/can-brics-reshape-the-financial-world-order<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

De-dollarisation: More BRICS in the wall<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

This is the first BRICS summit since Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE joined the bloc earlier this year. Among many things on the agenda is the issue of reducing reliance on the US dollar in international activities. We think the bloc has the most potential to forward its de-dollarisation agenda in FX reserves and fuel trade …<\/p>\n

BRICS+ is actively de-dollarising its financial flows from above-average levels, as seen through declining shares of US$ in their cross-border bank claims, international debt securities, and broader external debt. At the same time, BRICS+ has a much smaller global presence in those areas limiting the impact of its regional de-dollarisation for the global role of the US dollar.<\/p>\n

Some have suggested central bank\u00a0digital currency (CBDC) projects such as m-Bridge could be another channel through which the BRICS grouping could de-dollarise the global cross-border payments system. Our experts think this threat may be overestimated in the short term but underestimated in the long term.<\/p>\n

BRICS+ countries have been relatively successful in converting their higher global role into a more active usage of their currencies worldwide. The most notable progress over the last four to eight years is seen in the higher share of core BRICS currencies in global payments via SWIFT (6.4% as of 2024) and in OTC FX derivatives (6.8% as of 2022). …<\/p>\n

The distant second candidate for replacing the US dollar in the BRICS+ FX reserves is a pool of other DM reserve currencies, which have grown in popularity to a combined share of 35% of global FX reserves (see the table at the end of this article), while non-DM currencies have shown limited progress. We believe that a very modest external debt, 6% of the world’s total (vs. the US\u2019s 21%) is one of the key obstacles to a wider global usage of BRICS+ FX as reserve currencies. 10\/23\/24 https:\/\/think.ing.com\/articles\/de-dollarisation-more-brics-in-the-wall\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

US making \u2018big mistake\u2019 by weaponizing dollar \u2013\u00a0Putin<\/h2>\n

24 October 2024<\/p>\n

Weaponizing the US dollar is a big mistake, Russian President Vladimir Putin told a session at the BRICS Summit in Kazan on Wednesday. …<\/p>\n

\u201dYes, indeed, we can see that this is true. In fact, I think it is a big mistake by those who do this. The dollar remains the most important instrument of world finance and using it as a means of achieving political goals undermines confidence in this currency and reduces its capabilities,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the Russian president said.<\/p>\n

Russia does not seek to drop the dollar or defeat it, but instead is being\u00a0\u201cprevented from working with it,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Putin added.\u00a0\u201cThen we are forced to look for other alternatives, which is what is happening.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Many Russian financial institutions were cut off from the Western financial system in 2022 in response to Russia\u2019s military operation in Ukraine. As a result, Moscow has accelerated trade with international partners using their national currencies. The trend has been increasingly supported by BRICS members, which have shifted from using the dollar and euro for trade settlements. https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/606348-putin-dollar-political-gain\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I have long warned, the use of financial pressures and sanctions has a cost to the US and its dollar (watch US Sanctions and Tariffs leading to New World Order?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While the US continues to act like it can dictate financial and other terms on most nations in the world, there is growing resentment.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s threats of high tariffs will tend to move many nations closer together and farther from the USA.<\/p>\n

As various reports related to this last and other BRICS’ summits confirm, that group continues to take steps to dethrone the US dollar.<\/p>\n

Let me add that although the European Union is not part of BRICS+ at this time, part of the reason to develop the Euro was to bypass the need for the US dollar in trade. And that really did accomplish that across much of Europe.<\/p>\n

Related to BRICS and the USA dollar, we put together the following video:<\/p>\n

BRICS Push Aside USA Dollar<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have as one of their founding goals, to eliminate the need to use USA dollars in cross-border trade. Six additional nations have been invited to join BRICS in 2024, and India reports that six more are also being looked at. The BRICS nations have already begun to drop the USA dollar for some cross-border trading with Russia and China, indicating that they had almost done so completely in late 2023. What will happen to the economy and value of the USA dollar if more and more nations stop using it as a primary reserve and trading currency? What about hyperinflation? Does the Bible prophesy destruction for a highly indebted nation in the end time? Is the USA the most indebted nation of all time? What about the intent and use of the Euro? Will Europe and Asia cooperate to eliminate the USA and its British-descended allies?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video: BRICS Push Aside USA Dollar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The USA dollar will no longer remain “king.” This will greatly impact the economy of the USA.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s threats will have unintended consequences, but will not stop the coming end of USA dollar dominance.<\/p>\n
