Petrodollars Under Pressure_ The Shifting Sands of Oil Trade

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

This arrangement, where oil is bought and sold exclusively in U.S. dollars, not only boosted the American economy but also secured its power on the global stage, giving the U.S. tremendous leverage.
