Russian Duma representative: Trump’s threats against “BRICS” are demagogic

According to Mehr News Agency to According to the Sputnik news agency, Alexander Demin, head of the State Duma Committee on Small and Medium Enterprises, spoke about the demagogy of the US President-elect on Tuesday.

The head of the State Duma Committee on Small and Medium Enterprises said in this regard: Donald Trump’s threats against BRICS members stem from demagoguery.

Alexander Demin added in this regard: The words of Donald Trump, the winner of the US presidential election, regarding the imposition of 100% tariffs against all BRICS member countries are his demagogues and it is unlikely to be implemented in practice.

This is while Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman of the Kremlin, in response to the threat of Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States against the BRICS member countries, said that the use of force and sanctions by the United States to force countries to use the dollar is counterproductive.

Pskov said about this: The discussion is not only about BRICS countries. In general, the number of countries that have started to replace their national currencies in their foreign trade and economic activities has increased more and more. On the other hand, if America, as they say, forces countries to use dollars through influence, the process of switching to national currencies will probably be strengthened and intensified.

Pskov’s statements came after Trump, in a message on social networks, threatened BRICS member countries with tariffs if they remove the dollar and create an alternative currency in their transactions. 100% will face!
