‘DON’T YOU DARE!’ Jeffrey Sachs on Trump’s Explosive Dollar Warning

The Financial Express

318,754 views

Economist and geopolitical commentator Jeffrey Sachs discusses what he describes as the weaponisation of the US dollar and the broader history of American interventionism. In the discussion, Sachs refers to Donald Trump and what he calls one of the president's clearest statements on the issue, before turning to US strategy towards Ukraine and the development of military capabilities and interoperability during Trump's first term. The discussion places the dollar, Ukraine and US foreign policy within a broader debate over America's use of economic and military power.

Annihilation of Civilizations is not a power granted to the US President in our Constitution. A schoolchild would be arrested by the FBI if he posted on the Internet he wanted to blow up a single building. Trump has already done that many times.

The US is doing the demolishing of their currency all by themselves!

Fully agree. The USA has weaponised the Petrodollar, just as Trump will weaponise any and everything he can against both allies and opponents.
There needs to be an alternative - to both the Petrodollar and Trump.

US using the dollar to bully nations is absolutely reckless, ignorant, and coming to an end. Good!

But negotiations and peace do not make profits for the military contractors. The politicians don’t get their bribes.

My dad immigrated from Ukraine almost 100 years ago. He passed in 1990 but he warned me at the time of his passing that if there was to be another World War it would begin in Ukraine... "It's the Bread Basket of the World and they want it."
Love you Dad.

We must end the dollar hegemony.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to spell it out, step by step, thanks for doing that Prof. Sachs. 💫 (and for being so patient)

Prof. Sachs, just an eminent authority on geopolitics and moral standards

Weaponization of the $dollar was and is a big mistake. It will not stand. It's like your parents taking away your lunch allowance, just because they don't like your grades (which are all passing grades). Makes no sense whatsoever.

Trump is playing a negative sum game. Trump is trashing the dollar by weaponizing world oil supply.

The dollar’s status as the primary global currency is a cornerstone of U.S. hegemony, providing both immense economic benefits ("exorbitant privilege") and unparalleled geopolitical leverage. If the dollar were to lose this primary status, the United States would not become completely unable to impose sanctions. However, its sanctions would transform from a global, systemic weapon into a regional, bloc-based tool, fundamentally constraining America’s ability to project financial power and coerce adversaries on the world stage.
