President Trump: “100% Tariffs” on Countries That Ditch the Dollar


On Saturday, President Donald Trump took the stage in Wisconsin with a new policy.

And this is one even the Democrats should get behind.

It deals with slapping a 100 percent tariff on any country that abandons the US dollar.

Turns out years of Biden and the Democrat leadership have weakened the dollar.

This led to other countries trading in other currencies.

But Trump’s message was clear. ‘The tables are turning. Ditch the dollar, and it’ll cost you big time.’

The Gateway Pundit reports:

On Saturday, President Trump told supporters in Wisconsin that he will impose a 100 percent tariff on goods from countries that abandon dollar-based trades.

This follows years of Joe Biden and Democrats weakening the US dollar on the international stage.

This comes after years of foreign powers led by China’s Xi Jinping organizing economic trade policy with emerging markets in currencies other than the US dollar.

The South China Morning Post reported:

Donald Trump pledged on Saturday to make it too costly for countries to shift away from using the US dollar, adding a new pillar to his tariff platform.

“You leave the dollar and you’re not doing business with the United States because we are going to put a 100 per cent tariff on your goods,” the Republican presidential nominee said at a rally in the battleground state of Wisconsin.

The statement follows months of discussions between Trump and his economic advisers on ways to penalise allies or adversaries who seek active ways to engage in bilateral trade in currencies other than the dollar.

Options have included export controls, currency manipulation charges and tariffs, people familiar with the matter have previously told Bloomberg News.

President Trump made similar comments at the Economic Club of New York last Thursday. The former president made a clear comparison on his plans compared to Kamala and Joe Biden, who have threatened US dollar dominance in their four years in office.

In March 2023, South Africa’s Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor announced that Saudia Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Algeria, Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria, and other nations wanted to join the BRICS Alliance. This was a direct threat to the dominance of the West and the US dollar.
