Trump threatens 100 pc tariff on BRICS countries for challenging US dollar

New Delhi, Feb 14 (UNI) US President Donald Trump has once again issued a stern warning to BRICS countries of which India is a key member, threatening to impose a 100% tariff in case they decided to challenge the dominance of the US dollar in international trade.
"BRICS was put there for a bad purpose and most of those people don't want it... I told them if they want to play games with the dollar, then they are going to be hit by a 100% tariff. The day they mention that they want to do it, they will come back and say - we beg you, we beg you not to do this," Trump said while speaking to journalists in Washington.
Earlier in January also, Trump had threatened to impose tariffs on BRICS countries if they tried to introduce alternative currency to the US Dollar.
