There have been many unintended consequences of the Donald Trump presidency.
The German press is seeing one related to the Gentile group now known as BRICS:
Will BRICS boom under Trump’s watch?
BRICS nations will meet virtually next week to coordinate trade retaliation against the US. Has Donald Trump’s tariff blitz on top emerging economies sparked a stronger alliance among his biggest rivals?
6 September 2025
Donald Trump has been accused of inadvertently drawing BRICS nations — a loose grouping of some of the world’s fastest-growing emerging economies — closer together by imposing higher tariffs on them than on other countries.
China, the largest BRICS member, still faces the prospect of a 145% tariff if it can’t cut a deal with Trump, while Brazil and India have been slapped with a 50% rate — half of India’s penalty is for buying discounted Russian oil. South Africa was given a 30% levy, and even newer members like Egypt could see their tariffs go up, due to their participation in BRICS.
Trump has repeatedly warned during the first seven months of his second term of additional punitive measures against any nation aligning with what he calls “anti-American policies” — a pointed reference to the BRICS’ growing challenge to US global dominance. …
Trump gave BRICS a ‘shared incentive’
Former Indian trade official Ajay Srivastava thinks BRICS nations feel “little intimidation” from being singled out for additional penalties by Trump. He told DW that the tariffs “give BRICS a shared incentive to cut their reliance on the US, even if agendas differ.”
Those additional tariffs have created a common grievance among BRICS members, who are now expanding bilateral trade agreements in national currencies to reduce dependence on the US dollar. BRICS central banks have also ramped up gold purchases, another signal of their desire to de-dollarize. …
While Trump has declared “BRICS is dead,” one critic has accused the US president of “strategic malpractice,” arguing that the Republican has turned a loose coalition of countries with vastly different objectives into a more unified bloc. https://www.dw.com/en/will-brics-boom-under-trumps-watch/a-73750601
Yes, Donald Trump is pushing many Gentile nations closer together because of his tariffs, statements, and other actions.
Notice also the following from Reuters:
Trump says India and Russia appear ‘lost’ to ‘deepest, darkest China’
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said India and Russia seem to have been “lost” to China after their leaders met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, expressing his annoyance at New Delhi and Moscow as Beijing pushes a new world order.
“Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!” Trump wrote in a social media post accompanying a photo of the three leaders together at Xi’s summit in China.
Later on Friday, however, he told reporters he didn’t think the U.S. had lost India to China. “I don’t think we have,” he said. “I’ve been very disappointed that India would be buying so much oil, as you know, from Russia. And I let them know that.” https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-says-india-russia-appear-lost-deepest-darkest-china-2025-09-05/
Well, because of Trump Administration statements and practices, yes, the USA has pushed India and Russia and China closer together.
Now notice from this past Spring from another BRICS member:
BRICS ties stronger after US aid cuts – South African politician
27 March 2025
The withdrawal of US foreign aid to South Africa is a “wake-up call” and an opportunity for transformation, according to South African politician and youth activist Khalid Muhammad.
In an interview with RT, the African National Congress (ANC) party’s Western Cape spokesperson stated that South Africa “needs to start working much more closely, particularly at the level of the economics, with our BRICS partners.”
“Russia, for example, becomes a key role player in this regard. Also, China becomes very, very important. Brazil, India, even Iran, markets that the Americans try to keep us away from, we must embrace those particular markets,” Muhammad added.
He echoed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent comments, agreeing that the country must accelerate efforts to build self-reliant systems, particularly in key sectors such as health and social development.
The administration of US President Donald Trump announced in February that it was terminating 90% of US Agency for International Development (USAID) contracts. The administration cited a failure to advance America’s national interests, and effectively halted $60 billion in humanitarian spending worldwide. https://www.rt.com/africa/614846-us-aid-exit-spurs-brics-ties/
The BRICS alliance consisted of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (hence BRICS). This alliance has been growing.
BRICS is an intergovernmental organization now consisting of ten countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. …
Some in the West consider BRICS institutions an alternative to institutions such as those led by nations of the G7 bloc, which are among the world’s leading economies.[12] Others describe the grouping as an incoherent joining of countries around increasing anti-Western and anti-American objectives.[14] Together BRICS has implemented competing initiatives such as the New Development Bank, the BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement, BRICS PAY, the BRICS Joint Statistical Publication[15] and the BRICS basket reserve currency. (BRICS. Wikipedia, accessed 03/27/25)
More are considering to become part of this alliance.
Saudi Arabia did not join BRICS at the start of 2024 as had been planned, and it announced … that it was still considering the matter …
organizers touted the expansion as part of a plan to build a competing multipolar world order that uses Global South countries to challenge and compete against the western-dominated world order.[71] China Daily used the expansion to claim that more developing countries were interested in joining BRICS.[72]
On 24 October 2024, an additional 13 countries, namely Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, were invited to participate as “partner countries”. … On 6 January 2025, Indonesia joined BRICS officially as a full member. (BRICS. Wikipedia, accessed 03/27/25)
The BRICS nations see the USA debt risk and despise USA sanction policies. They clearly want to topple the dominance of the US and its dollar (as do the Europeans, which is part of why they came out with the Euro).
Related to BRICS and the USA dollar, notice the following which is in my book Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?:
Those in Iran and some of the Arab lands, along with nations such as Brazil, China, and India have discussed plans for the removal of the dominance of the U.S.A. in global trade as well. The former (again current) President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, even claimed that eliminating the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status was one of the reasons that the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) was formed in the first place. [i] Others have noted that bypassing the USA dollar is still an object of BRICS—and officially BRICS nations “are currently working on setting up a new global reserve currency,”[ii] which may have gold-backing.[iii] The expansion of BRICS (which is in progress) may ultimately even hurt Australian trade as well as “severely weaken primacy of the US Dollar as an international currency.”[iv]
The Bible clearly warns against cheapening the money supply and encourages having money hold its value (Proverbs 25:4 Isaiah 1:25, Ezekiel 22:18-22). Debt is also warned against (Habakkuk 2:6-8). Yet policies enacted under the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations, following certain other administrations, have ignored these warnings.

Notice also something from my list of 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:
The final time of the Gentiles is approaching. We are seeing BRICS, the Global South, the EU, and others working on ways to trade and not have to deal with the descendants of Ephraim (UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) and Manasseh (the USA).
One day the US dollar will be toppled–but that will not fully happen in 2025. But let me add that the Bible teaches that a coming European power will accumulate gold too (cf. Daniel 11:38,43; see also The Plain Truth About Gold in Prophecy. How Should a Christian View Gold?).
Based upon several biblical prophecies, I have long written that the Asians and Europeans will cooperate, for a time, and eliminate the USA and its Anglo-Saxon-Celtic descended allies. They will divide their lands among them per Daniel 11:39, and many of the survivors will be made slaves (for more details check out the article Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?).
Donald Trump has made statements and endorsed policies that are impacting the current world order–many of which will end up harmful to the USA.
Although BRICS will not dominate the world economically like the coming European Beast power will, the BRICS nations and their actions will have major impacts on the world.
Related to BRICS and the USA dollar, we put together the following video:
14:31
BRICS Push Aside USA Dollar
The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have as one of their founding goals, to eliminate the need to use USA dollars in cross-border trade. Six additional nations have been invited to join BRICS in 2024, and India reports that six more are also being looked at. The BRICS nations have already began to drop the USA dollar for some cross-border trading with Russia and China indicating that they had almost done so completely in late 2023. What will happen to the economy and value of the USA dollar if more and more nations stop using it as a primary reserve and trading currency? What about hyperinflation? Does the Bible prophesy destruction for a highly indented nation in the end time? Is the USA the most indebted nation of all time? What about the intent and use of the Euro? Will Europe and Asia cooperate to eliminate the USA and its British-descended allies?
Here is a link to our video: BRICS Push Aside USA Dollar.
A lot is happening. The USA is pushing large and small countries away from it.
The USA dollar will no longer remain “king.” This will greatly impact the economy of the USA.
As Jesus said: “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37).
