In a multipolar world in full restructuring, the strategies of the great powers shape the economic and political balances. Analyst Boris Mezhuyev, during a debate in Moscow, revealed a potential axis of Donald Trump's future foreign policy: directly attacking the BRICS. This strategic repositioning could profoundly redefine global alliances and affect key sectors, including finance and cryptos.
Trump's vision of multipolarity
In a debate organized in Moscow by the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Boris Mezhuyev, a political scientist at the organization, described what he sees as a central axis of Donald Trump's future strategy. “I think Trump's main adversary will not be Russia or China, but the BRICS,” he said. In addition, it underlines Trump's probable desire to destabilize this coalition. Unlike the Biden administration's approach, focused on strengthening the collective West, Trump would aim to dismantle this emerging multipolar order with “more determination and effectiveness,” according to Mezhuyev.
Such a strategy, according to the analyst, would deviate from current geopolitical priorities such as the conflict in Ukraine. “Ukraine will not be a priority,” he said. specified. Instead, U.S. efforts could focus on areas like Latin America and Southeast Asia, where Trump would seek to reduce Chinese influence and divide BRICS members through the exploitation of their divergent interests.
A global impact and challenges for dedollarization
This strategy could profoundly impact the global economy, particularly the alliance's ambitions in terms of dedollarization. With plans like the creation of a common currency to reduce dependence on the dollar, BRICS members could see their initiatives compromised. Through targeting countries like Brazil or through the exacerbation of tensions between China, India and Russia, the United States would seek to fragment its various efforts. This raises questions about the future of financial cooperation within this bloc.
Furthermore, the implications for the crypto sector cannot be overlooked. BRICS members, particularly China and Russia, have actively explored blockchain solutions to circumvent economic sanctions and strengthen their financial independence. A division within the bloc could slow these initiatives and consolidate US dominance over international financial transactions, including cryptos.
If Trump's planned strategy comes to fruition, it could represent a major blow to BRICS unity and dampen its ambitions on the world stage. However, this risky approach could also push these nations to accelerate their efforts to build more resilient alternative systems, particularly in the area of cryptos. The outcome of this geopolitical battle will determine whether the world continues to move toward true multipolarity or returns to enhanced unipolar dominance by the United States.
