1st of February. /MEDIA TALK/. The BRICS members are negotiating the development of new investment platforms, and there is no question of introducing a single monetary unit yet, Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump promised to set 100% customs duties as a reaction to the transition of the BRICS countries to an alternative currency instead of the dollar.

Trump posted a message on the Truth Social social platform, where he announced the intentions of the United States to require "hostile states" to commit themselves not to develop a new BRICS currency or support any other currency as an alternative to the "powerful American currency."

According to Peskov, the opinion of President Vladimir Putin is more important for Russia, who proposed the development of a single investment platform for the BRICS countries, facilitating the joint implementation of projects in other countries and the growth of mutual investments.

At the October 2024 BRICS Forum in Kazan, a symbolic, unofficial banknote of the alliance countries was presented.
