Trump fears the US will become a “third world country” if Russia cannot freely buy weapons to kill Ukrainians.
US presidential candidate Donald Trump is seeking to lift sanctions against Russia and Iran and is thinking more about “the strength of the dollar” than about war.
If he wins the election, Donald Trump will use sanctions against other countries, particularly Russia and Iran, “as little as possible.”
The US presidential candidate stated this while speaking at the Economic Club of New York on September 6, 2024 — reports edition The New Republic.
Trump noted that during his first term he resorted to sanctions against other countries, but tried to lift them as quickly as possible because sanctions “kill your dollar” and “kill everything the dollar represents.” In his opinion, it is very important to preserve the dollar’s status as a “world currency.”
“If we lost the dollar as a world currency, I think it would be the equivalent of losing a war, which would make us a third world country. (…) Because look, you are losing Iran, you are losing Russia“China is trying to make its currency dominant. There are so many conflicts with all these countries that you will lose the dollar's dominance. So I want to use sanctions as little as possible,” Trump said.
According to the former president, during his term he applied sanctions exclusively against countries “that deserve it.” He wants to continue to adhere to this policy.
