Your daily horoscope: February 5

This year, however, you must learn to be more adaptable, especially where new technology and new techniques are concerned. Don’t get stuck in the past. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You must resist going to extremes over the next 24 hours, because if you allow the overly assertive side of your nature to take over you will almost certainly provoke a backlash.

Trump's Bold Tariff Threat to BRIC Nations: A Move to Protect the U.S. Dollar


In a recent statement, President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the BRIC bloc of nations, threatening a 100% tariff on their goods if they take any actions to undermine the U.S. dollar. The BRIC alliance, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, has been exploring ways to reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar in global trade.

Trump's declaration comes amid growing discussions among BRIC nations about creating a new currency to challenge the dollar's dominance. This move, known as de-dollarization, aims to establish alternative trading channels and potentially implement a single currency for intra-BRIC trade. Trump, known for his protectionist stance, emphasized that any attempt to weaken the U.S. dollar would be met with swift and decisive action.

The BRIC nations collectively account for a significant portion of the world's GDP and population, making their economic policies highly influential on the global stage. Trump's proposed tariffs could have major economic consequences, potentially raising costs for American businesses and consumers while escalating international trade tensions.

As the world watches, the future of the U.S. dollar's dominance and the potential impact of Trump's tariff threats remain uncertain. The geopolitical landscape continues to evolve, with the BRIC nations seeking to assert their economic independence and the U.S. striving to maintain its financial supremacy.
