Say Goodbye to the Almighty Dollar? US Sanctions Push Nations to Alternatives

A top Russian diplomat has squarely blamed former President Joe Biden for the U.S. dollar‘s shrinking dominance in global finance, accusing Washington of using payment systems as tools of political coercion. 💸💰

Framing it as a consequence of American economic pressure tactics, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleged that Biden’s administration deliberately isolated nations from U.S.-based financial systems, including the one that excluded Russia from global payment networks. She claimed in a briefing on July 9 that this approach backfired, pushing countries to seek non-dollar-based alternatives. Zakharova said the dollar’s weakening status is “the direct accomplishment” of Biden’s leadership, not a spontaneous global shift. 😜
