If the Federal Reserve, a bedrock of global financial stability, were to withhold dollar funding to allies during times of stress, the world could greatly reduce its reliance on the currency, creating “a doubled-edged sword” for the U.S., Deutsche Bank analysts said.

Reuters reported on Saturday that some European central banking and supervisory officials are questioning whether they can still rely on the U.S. central bank to provide such funding as their trust in Washington has been shaken by the Trump administration’s policies.

    It’s why Russia and China invested heavily in trump. This is what they bought him for.

        True. But destruction only makes things worse not better. This has only increased human rights violations and actions against the people. Creating another regime much more like Russia or China. Not improving anything.

    Sure, Pooty-poot wants Ukraine resources, but this is really his jam. This is why trump’s demented fealty is so appreciated.
