Trump's threat to punish countries that drop US dollar will speed up de-dollarization

from Geopolitical Economy Report · host Ben Norton

Donald Trump has threatened that, if he comes back as US president, he will impose 100% tariffs on countries that drop the dollar, trying to cut off their trade. Ben Norton discusses how this will accelerate the global dedollarization movement, incentivizing more nations to join China, Russia, and BRICS in seeking financial alternatives.
