Add A Fact: "Trump's trade agenda impacts global currencies"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

In the short run, Mr. Trump’s trade agenda would most likely encourage other countries, such as China, to weaken their currencies relative to the dollar so that their exports are less expensive for overseas buyers. Longer term, such an approach could compel other countries to distance themselves from the dollar and trade in other currencies if access to the U.S. market became too difficult.

The fact comes from the following source:

Note his mistaking Spain for South Africa?

As the Associated Press reported on Jan. 21, Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Spain because "They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out". He then added that "we are going to put at least a 100% tariff on the business they do with the United States".

Spain is not a member of BRICS.

I suggested that the last sentence of the Proposed > Second term section of this article be updated from this:

"On November 30, 2024, Trump suggested implementing 100% tariffs on BRICS nations if they try to compete with the U.S. dollar."

To this:

"In November 2024 and January 2025, Trump suggested implementing 100% tariffs on BRICS nations and Spain -- which he mistakenly described in January as a BRICS member -- if they try to compete with the U.S. dollar".

And add this source:
