Donald Trump Warns of US Dollar’s Declining Global Influence
Former President Donald Trump recently voiced concerns over the United States' diminishing global influence in a recent interview on the All-In Podcast YouTube channel.
Trump highlighted his belief in the strategic use of tariffs, emphasizing their dual benefits of economic advantage and political leverage.
He asserted that tariffs not only bolster economic gains but also empower the US to address broader political issues affecting international relations. Trump underscored the critical role tariffs play in countering the global trend of de-dollarization, where countries are increasingly reducing their reliance on the US dollar in global trade.
Trump expressed worry about the implications of losing the dollar’s dominance, equating it to losing a significant global conflict. He pointed to several nations, including Russia, Ukraine, China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, as examples of countries either shifting away from the dollar or exploring alternative currencies.
