Donald Trump on US-China Currency War

Former President Donald Trump warned in an interview with Fox News, aired Wednesday, that China pushing a large portion of the world off of the dollar standard would be the equivalent of America losing a world war.

“Iran gets together with Saudi Arabia through China. And China is taking over … And, I heard a couple of people say, ‘Well, we’ll never lose a dollar standard.’ Are they kidding?" он сказал, разработка:

China wants to change the standard, the currency standard. And if that happens, that’s like losing a world war. We’ll be a second-tier country.

Кроме того, the former U.S. president explained that Western countries have already lost Бразилия to Chinese influence and are on the verge of losing Colombia within their own hemisphere. He further mentioned that Iran and Russia have already aligned themselves with China.

Trump proceeded to comment on France’s relationship with China and a recent встреча between French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese President Xi Jinping, reiterating:

What’s going on? We’re losing. If we lose our currency — that’s the equivalent of losing a world war. Our currency is what makes us powerful and strong.

The former president insisted that had Macron made his overtures to China while he was in the White House, he would have contacted the French president and threatened him with economic consequences, such as limiting the import of French wine as a penalty.

According to Trump, all countries are difficult to deal with because they want to take advantage of the U.S. “They’re all difficult because every country rips us off. But France is in particular very difficult,” he stated.

The former U.S. president revealed that he personally got on the phone with the French and threatened to impose 100% tariffs on champagne in response to France’s plan to tax American companies. “I get a call back 15 minutes later,” Trump further shared, adding that the French told him: “We’ve decided we’re not going to charge American companies.” However, the former president noted: “But you know what happened once I left, now they’re charging them.”

Прошлая неделя, Trump warned that China is trying to replace the U.S. доллар as the number one currency throughout the world, predicting that under the Biden administration, they will “probably” succeed. “This would be the biggest defeat for our country in its history,” he stressed.
