After US President Donald Trump threatened the BRICS nations with 150 per cent tariff, the bloc "broke up".

Axar.az reports that this was stated by U.S. President Donald Trump.

“BRICS states were trying to destroy our dollar. They wanted to create a new currency, probably to use the Chinese yuan. So when I came in, the first thing I said was any BRICS state that even mentions the destruction of the dollar will be charged a 150% tariff, and we don’t want your goods and the BRICS states just broke up,” said Trump.

He added that he hasn’t heard about the BRICS after the 150 per cent tariff threat.

“I don’t know what the hell happened to them. We haven’t heard from the BRICS states lately,” Trump said.
