      His simplicity is his downfall when talking about a very complex matter.
      China is struggling after their recent housing market crash. They had to resort to stimulus payments to keep the economy from collapsing. So their Yuan needs some strength and the way to do that is by weakening the dollar. But the dollar weakening hurts their US treasury bonds unless they purchase more of them which they will. The goal is disinflation and not deflation.

      He is wrong, only lowering the interest rates and becoming energy independent (drill baby drill) will lower the value of the dollar. Tarrifs will mean international countries will have to keep more USA cash reserves. At that point it is not printing because USA $ will once again be back by strength of US economy after covid

    As an American truck driver of 22 years higher tariffs from the first Trump administration lead to less imports which dramatically destroyed the trucking industry Plus higher tariffs means higher prices when shopping which leads to less spending when it comes to people's budgets which leads to local and state government budget shortfalls.

    Thanks Yanis have a great year. We shall see, but I tend to the old English solution to fading Empire; so more war and financial repression from US. I expect to see the EU in huge difficulty and UK too. USA will try to suck as much out of it's allies as possible. China have said they don't want a currency dominance since they see from history this results in collapse, so the BRICS organisation will have to think of something else, and anyway India has to be part of this. Unifying currency can only happen when sovereignty is given up to the issuer. I don't see the other BRICS going along with this either.
    It's time the colonialist relinquished the supremacy and granted the rest their freedom. But they will go down kicking and screaming "democracy" while destroying all about, it's all they know.

    I appreciate this commentary. The US is staring at recession based on a higher dollar, increasing interest rates, increased unemployment & sticky inflation. Trump's position guarantees this situation. However any suggestion Trump has any understanding about anything is mistaken. Trump is a deeply unwell, old man who will manage the Presidency with unqualified & incompetent people.

Various trade blocks like CEPC, RCEP, SCO by the Chinese have also been dissed by India & Chinese can do shite! BRICS is a paper tiger only. Ask ccp for further details, should you still require.

      Yes - the US military backs the dollar, and the US government’s position , like blood, pumps money around the world…
      Other countries currencies are slightly more worthless, so those countries buy US treasuries and bonds because it’s better value and this strengthens the dollar.
