Amid shifting global trade dynamics, a think tank has warned that the Trump administration's strategy of utilizing the US dollar as a geopolitical tool risks undermining its extraordinary global status. According to reports, turning dollar liquidity lifelines into diplomatic favors could weaken the currency's long-term dominance. Economists fear that this approach may incentivize international actors to accelerate de-dollarization efforts to bypass US political influence.
