The White House chief added that once the BRICS single currency is introduced, countries will come back to him and beg him not to impose duties. BRICS is dead, Trump told reporters.

Earlier, the BRICS countries discussed the possibility of expanding settlements in national currencies and creating a common currency within the bloc, but no decisions were made on this issue.
