Political commentator Sujit Nair stated that the US response to the potential challenge of the BRICS countries to the dollar is "very tough," citing Donald Trump’s public threats to member countries, claiming that if they introduce new currencies, the US will take corresponding measures. Nair criticized this stance as undemocratic and authoritarian, comparing it to a supermarket banning customers from shopping elsewhere. He believes that a truly competitive capitalist country should win based on strength rather than coercion, and emphasized that countries should have the right to independently choose their financial systems without external pressure.
