“Peace through strength” concept: Trump’s victory forces U.S. adversaries to proactively adjust their foreign policy strategies, while partners compete for the attention of the newly elected President

On November 30, 2024, Donald Trump warned the BRICS countries on Truth Social that he would require them to commit not to create a new currency as an alternative to the US dollar.

As a sanction for steps toward de-dollarization, Trump has threatened to impose one hundred percent duties and other restrictions on trade with the United States on countries that agree to replace the dollar with a new currency.

These and other statements by Trump indicate that the President-elect plans to build the United States’s future policy from a position of strength that will be used, if necessary, in geopolitical challenges and in solving the new administration’s domestic political tasks.
