Is a US-EU Trade War About to Explode Over BRICS?
We're not talking about tariffs in the abstract anymore. What’s coming looks like an economic bloodbath between the U.S. and the EU. The tension has been quietly building behind the scenes, but it’s finally boiling over and BRICS is right at the center of it.
The Sly Moves Behind the Curtain
I’ve warned before about Ursula von der Leyen and Christine Lagarde—two of the shrewdest political operators I’ve seen in recent years. While the media has been focused on surface-level headlines, the EU’s been quietly forming new alliances and trade deals—including with China and the BRICS nations.
This is no accident.
While publicly pushing back against Trump-era tariffs, the EU has simultaneously been preparing to sidestep U.S. interests entirely. And now that these deals have landed on Trump’s desk, he’s furious.
Trump Responds: "No Exceptions"
On social media, Trump recently made it crystal clear:
“Any countries aligning themselves with the anti-American policies of BRICS will be charged an additional 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy.”
This isn’t just rhetoric. It’s a warning shot.
And while BRICS might not label itself as anti-American, its agenda is clearly anti-Western. The expanded alliance now beyond Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—openly talks about a new world order, led by emerging economies and freed from the U.S. dollar’s dominance.
The EU is playing both sides. They’re keeping one foot in the Western alliance, but quietly pivoting their economic base toward the Global South and the East. Just last week, they started executing trade frameworks using the digital euro, which hasn’t even officially launched yet. That alone should raise eyebrows.
The Real Threat: De-Dollarization
If you watched Friday’s video (which surprisingly underperformed), you’d have seen the data yourself. The U.S. dollar is losing ground fast.
Some Americans may not want to hear it, but this isn’t anti-American propaganda. It’s cold, hard data:
Jobs numbers are being manipulated
Trade dominance is slipping
Other nations are preparing backup systems outside U.S. control
And this week, the fallout just accelerated.
Deadlines, Tariffs & Desperation
The U.S. set a July 9 deadline to finalize key trade deals before enforcing sweeping new tariffs starting August 1. But so far, only the UK, Vietnam, and parts of China have come to the table.
The EU, meanwhile, is scrambling to negotiate reduced tariffs on cars, steel, and aluminum. Yet no full agreement is in sight. A 25% tariff on Japan and Korea was announced just minutes before I went live on stream. For South Korea, which relies heavily on exports to the U.S., this is a major blow.
And Japan could face up to 35% tariffs if negotiations collapse.
A Fractured Global Economy
We’re watching a global realignment in real-time. These aren’t just policy squabbles—they’re tectonic shifts in the way the world does trade, creates money, and balances power.
While the U.S. clings to its dominance, nations like Germany, France, China, and India are all hedging their bets diversifying away from U.S. influence.
As I said:
“This isn’t anti-American. It’s anti-West. And the West still doesn’t realize how fast the rest of the world is moving.”
Final Thoughts: Time to Get Prepared
If you’re still thinking the old system will sort itself out, think again. This is a new game, with new rules. The trade war is escalating. Currency dominance is shifting. And the real losers will be the middle class, caught between inflation, job instability, and shrinking purchasing power.
