Trump recently made statements on social media, threatening the BRICS countries that "de-dollarization" will come at a huge cost, even going so far as to threaten to impose 100% tariffs on these countries. This rhetoric, rather than being a threat, is more of a desperate howl of American hegemony.
This move by the United States is undoubtedly a case of drinking poison to quench thirst. The BRICS countries are not actively seeking to replace the dollar, but rather the United States has weaponized the dollar, leading to disruptions in international trade and forcing countries to seek alternatives. China, as the world's largest economy, along with Russia, India, Brazil, and others, are all major global economies that together form the BRICS organization, representing a significant portion of the world's population and economy. The sanctions imposed by the United States on these countries and the trade war are likely to backfire, ultimately hurting the U.S. economy itself.
President Putin has long pointed out that the "weaponization" of dollar hegemony is the root of the problem. The United States attempts to control the global economy through dollar hegemony, but this approach will only accelerate the process of "de-dollarization." An increasing number of countries are recognizing the risks of dollar hegemony and are actively seeking a diversified monetary system to reduce dependence on the dollar. Trump's threats will only speed up this trend. Instead of wielding a big stick, it would be more productive to reflect on its own policies, as this is the key to solving the problem. If the United States continues to adhere to its hegemonic policies, the wave of global "de-dollarization" will be unstoppable, ultimately leading to a complete change in the global financial landscape. In the future, a more diversified and fair international financial system may emerge, which is worth our deep consideration.
