“They are killing your dollar”: Trump hinted that he wants to lift sanctions against Russia

Trump is afraid of the transformation of the USA into a “Third World country” if Russia cannot freely buy weapons to kill Ukrainians.

If he wins the election, Donald Trump will use sanctions against other countries, including Russia, “as little as possible.” The candidate for the presidency of the United States stated this while speaking at the Economic Club of New York.

Trump noted that during his first term as president, he resorted to sanctions against other countries, but tried to remove them as soon as possible because sanctions “kill your dollar” and “kill everything the dollar represents.” In his opinion, it is very important to preserve the status of the “world currency” behind the dollar.

“If we lost the dollar as a world currency, I think it would be equivalent to losing a war, which would make us a third world country. (…) Because look, you lose Iran, you lose Russia, China is trying to make its currency dominant. There are so many conflicts with all these countries that you will lose the dominance of the dollar. So I want to use sanctions as little as possible,” Trump said.

According to the ex-president, during his tenure, he used sanctions exclusively against countries “that deserve it.” He wants to continue this policy.

Trump’s other recent statements on Russia

As UNIAN wrote, according to Trump, the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region of Russia could provoke the Third World War . However, he did not explain the logic of his thoughts, but only supported the nuclear narrative, which even the Kremlin has already stopped using.

Trump also recently accused Biden of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. At the same time, he expressed his belief that he himself had successfully restrained Putin from attacking Ukraine. Trump also promised to start a dialogue with the Russian dictator in the event of his return to the White House.

  1. Stupid as a doornail. The Russian people are suffering from all those sanctions………………yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh right.

  2. With much of the news covering pro-ruskie propaganda swamping the US, more of his fans will see him for what he is and vote accordingly.

    • “much of the news”

      But will it be covered by the “fake news” media that those in the MAGAt cult tend to follow?

      • If they do mention it, they will denounce the effort any which way they can, using their usual methodology of liberal amount of lies.
        But, I’m sure that some of the maga crowd will take note of mafia land’s efforts to undermine the United States with propaganda and lies. I know that it will only be a fraction that will have their eyes opened, but every bit helps.
        At any rate, I’m glad that the country is finally starting to defend itself against mafia propaganda, which is something we on here have been wishing for years.
