The move comes as part of Trump\u2019s administration discussions to punish allies who seek to to engage in bilateral trade in currencies other than the USD, including implementing export controls, currency manipulation charges, and levies on trade. \u201cThere is no chance that the Brics will replace the USD in International Trade, and any country that tries should wave goodbye to America,\u201d Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network.
