In a post on Truth Social Saturday, President-elect Donald Trump said he would impose a 100% tariff on the BRICS geopolitical coalition of non-Western countries if the group moves away from trading using the U.

The president-elect's threat comes just days after he threatened big tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. Experts warn of higher prices.

While China could offset American tariffs by letting its currency fall, that might endanger Beijing’s recent efforts to stabilize the economy.

Trump also said in his post that the countries "can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.

In a forceful statement on Saturday, US President-elect Donald Trump issued a stern warning to BRICS member nations and their allies, threatening to impose 100% tariffs on their exports to the United States if they proceed with plans to introduce or support a currency aimed at replacing the US dollar in international trade.
