US sanctions are killing the dollar as an international currency, Trump says


The US authorities are killing the dollar as an international currency with their own hands, by introducing sanctions against other states, including Russia. This was stated by former US leader and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I imposed sanctions, but I lifted them very quickly because ultimately they kill the dollar and everything it stands for. We need the dollar to remain a global currency. If we lose the dollar as a global currency, it will be a lost war,” he said in a speech at the Economic Club of New York.

According to Mr. Trump, the current US administration is abusing restrictive measures. “And other countries, including Russia, are doing their own thing and boasting that they no longer need us,” he pointed out.
