The State of BRICS: Is it Really "Dead"?
In a recent announcement, former President Donald Trump boldly proclaimed that the BRICS alliance is “dead.” This statement came after he threatened the member countries with severe economic repercussions should they pursue alternatives to the US dollar. Trump stated, “I told them if they want to play games with the dollar then they’re going to be hit with a 100% tariff.” His comments seem to reflect a belief that the collective ambitions of BRICS nations are collapsing under pressure from the United States’ economic might. However, a deeper examination reveals a different narrative altogether.
