00:00BRICS is expanding, and its cloud looks to be growing.
00:04The block of developing economies wants to counterbalance Western-led institutions, but
00:08can it reshape the financial world order?
00:11We start at the White House, where President Donald Trump has threatened the BRIC nations
00:15with 150 percent tariffs if they try to undermine the U.S. dollar.
00:20Trump's new art of the deal playbook, threatening steep tariffs as an act of diplomacy.
00:26The BRICS coalition, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has long sought to
00:44counterbalance Western-led institutions.
00:47Now, as the block expands and introduces new financial strategies, it poses an even greater
00:52challenge to the dominance of the U.S. dollar.
00:55But can BRICS truly reshape the financial world order?
00:58And how far will the United States, especially under Donald Trump, go to prevent it?
01:04The U.S. strikes back.
01:06At the heart of this global power struggle is Washington, where former President Donald
01:10Trump took a hard-line stance against BRICS.
01:13His latest warning?
01:14A staggering 150 percent tariff on any BRICS nation that even hints at undermining the U.S.
01:20dollar.
01:21First thing I said is any BRICS state that even mentions the destruction of the dollar
01:24will be charged a 150 percent tariff, Trump declared.
01:28Before we dive in, make sure to subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications, you
01:33do not want to miss out on breaking news, like this alright let's get it.
01:36The U.S. has historically used trade restrictions as a weapon, targeting adversaries and allies
01:42alike.
01:43But this time, Trump is focusing on BRICS and their efforts to create a new currency.
01:48The BRICS Financial Ambitions.
01:50The BRICS countries are openly discussing alternatives to the dollar-dominated financial system.
01:55A major topic at the 2024 BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, was a potential gold-backed currency
02:01known as the unit.
02:03Russian President Vladimir Putin even appeared on stage holding a prototype of a possible
02:07BRICS banknote.
02:09The goal?
02:10To reduce reliance on the dollar, which currently accounts for around 90 percent of all global
02:15currency trade.
02:16As recently as 2023, nearly all oil transactions were conducted in dollars.
02:21However, a shift is underway, about one-fifth of oil trade is now being settled in non-dollar
02:26currencies.
02:28If BRICS succeeds in launching an alternative reserve currency, it could lead to significant
02:32de-dollarization.
02:34This means reduced global demand for the dollar, potentially shaking up financial markets and
02:39U.S. economic dominance.
02:41Trump's Harsh Response.
02:43For Trump, this isn't just an economic issue, it's a direct challenge to U.S. power.
02:48He made it clear that BRICS would face severe consequences if they pursued this path.
02:53If BRICS plays games with the dollar, they'll be hit with a 100 percent tax.
02:58If they go further, 150 percent, Trump threatened.
03:02He even suggested cutting off U.S. trade ties with BRICS nations entirely.
03:07His aggressive stance echoes previous tariff wars.
03:10But this time, it's not just about China or Mexico, it's about a growing coalition of
03:14nations challenging the entire Western financial structure.
03:18Can BRICS really compete with the dollar?
03:20Despite BRICS' bold ambitions, many experts remain skeptical about whether they can truly
03:25rival the dollar.
03:26A study by the Atlantic Council Center for Geoeconomics found that the dollar remains
03:30the world's primary reserve currency, far outpacing any potential competition.
03:35Trump himself dismissed BRICS' influence, claiming his tariffs would render them irrelevant.
03:41I haven't heard anything from BRICS since I issued the tariff warning.
03:45Maybe they disbanded, he said mockingly.
03:47However, not everyone shares his confidence.
03:51European diplomat Reinhard Butikhofer sees BRICS' expansion as a direct threat to Western
03:56economic dominance.
03:58BRICS is becoming increasingly confrontational toward the West.
04:01If Europe doesn't act, many developing nations may shift toward BRICS for economic stability,
04:07Butikhofer warned.
04:08China's Strategic Role in BRICS China plays a leading role in shaping BRICS' agenda.
04:14With the world's second-largest economy, Beijing is keen to expand BRICS' influence as a counterweight
04:19to Western power.
04:20But China's dominance within the bloc has caused tensions.
04:24India, for instance, has a complex history with China, marked by border disputes and competing
04:29regional interests.
04:31India's government remains wary of China's Belt and Road Initiative, viewing it as a tool for
04:36Beijing to expand its geopolitical influence.
04:39China's growing control over BRICS also raises concerns in Washington.
04:43The U.S. sees BRICS as an economic threat but also a geopolitical tool for China and Russia
04:48to push their global agendas.
04:50Cuba's entry into BRICS A new challenge to the U.S.
04:54Perhaps one of the most surprising recent developments is Cuba's inclusion in BRICS, strongly supported
04:59by Russia's Vladimir Putin.
05:01For Cuba, joining BRICS provides an opportunity to escape decades of economic isolation imposed
05:07by the U.S.
05:08For over 60 years, Washington's trade embargo has crippled Cuba's economy.
05:13Now with BRICS membership, Cuba can access alternative financial networks outside of U.S. control.
05:20However, this move has undoubtedly put Cuba in Trump's crosshairs.
05:24If Trump returns to power, Cuba could face even harsher economic measures, potentially
05:29including the same 150% tariff threats aimed at other BRICS nations.
05:34The Future of BRICS Versus The U.S.
05:37As BRICS continues to expand and challenge Western dominance, the global financial landscape
05:42is at a crossroads.
05:44Will BRICS succeed in creating a real alternative to the U.S. dollar?
05:48Or will the U.S., through aggressive economic policies and trade restrictions, keep its grip
05:53on the global financial system?
05:55One thing is certain, this economic battle is far from over.
05:59Whether through new trade wars, currency shifts, or strategic alliances, the power struggle
06:04between the U.S. and BRICS will shape the future of global finance.
06:08Stay tuned as this high-stakes economic showdown unfolds.
06:23Thistable
06:38that you will see in endeavor and re에도 at the bottom of the world.
