Did Karin Jean-Pierre call the transition of Brazil and China to mutual records in national currencies by violation of the rights of Americans to a stable dollar exchange rate?

On the Internet, a quote from the White House spokesman Karin Jean-Pierre spread, where he expresses concern and threatens sanctions by countries that have abandoned mutual recovery in dollars. We decided to check if she said something like that.

Completely dispersed quote It sounds like this: “We are deeply concerned about the transition of Brazil and China to national currencies during mutual recovery. This is a violation of the rights of our citizens who are counting on a stable dollar in the world market. America will not allow other countries to dictate its conditions in mutual trade. We want to warn that the violation of the rights of ordinary Americans will not remain for these countries without consequences. ” This statementattributed to the White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre, or individual phrases From him reposted many Bloggers on various platforms (for example, Livejournal And "Zen"). Placed even her some not the most authoritative news resources. It is published in many popular Telegram channels: ""Sanya in Florida"(292,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Ostashko! Important"(110 000),"Alexander Semchenko"(94,000),"The theory of great shock"(21,000) and others. Hundreds of likes and reposts in social networks are gaining posts with this quote ("VKontakte" Twitter, Facebook). 

There are quotes attributed to Karin Jean-Pierre in any at least any authoritative media-neither Russian nor foreign. There is no one on the official website of the White House, where everything is published statements, and also Decoding briefings. In her accounts on Twitter - service And personal - Also, nothing is said about the transition of Brazil and China to national currencies. 

The earliest publicationThe “verified” was found, was made on March 30, 2023 in the Telegram channel “But my Yandex Kid”. It also contains a photo of Jean-Pierre, which was later used as an illustration in many posts with this quote. It also indirectly testifies that it was the publication in the channel “But my Yandex Kid” was the first. In other ways, the publication accompanies photo collage, on which Jean-Pierre stands surrounded by the heroes of the film “Flying over the cuckoo’s nest”, the action of which takes place in a mental hospital. However, these publications appeared later than in the specified Telegram channel.

The description of the channel states that it specializes in parodies and "satire on political reality." However, not all of his readers probably saw this description, since the channel has already become the primary source of inaccurate information many times, which was completely seriously distributed by Internet users, and sometimes the media. So, earlier “verified” had already analyzed stories that Polish Prime Minister suggested Zelensky to transfer the western territories of Ukraine to Poland that Ukrainian writer I wanted to oblige fellow citizens who support Russia to wear a red star on clothes or what Singer Monetochka I put the ultimatum "either I, or Putin" to the Russians. All of them were completely fictional.

As far as we know, this is the first time that the news from this Telegram channel spread outside the Russian-language segment of the Internet. So, the pseudocytte Jean-Pierre parted very widely on Twitter: it can be found on English, Spanish And Arabic languages. This "access to the international level" noted And the owners of the channel themselves, also indirectly confirming that they were the real authors of this quote.

Thus, Karin Jean-Pierre never called the transition of the countries to mutual records in national currencies by violation of the rights of American citizens to the stable dollar exchange rate and did not threaten them with sanctions. The news originally appeared in the Telegram channel, specializing in satirical news, and from there it diverged both in Russian-speaking and foreign blogs and social networks.
