đšđ„ PUTIN WARNS: U.S. DOLLAR POLICY COULD BACKFIRE đ·đșđșđž
Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the United States for using the dollar as a geopolitical pressure tool, calling it a major strategic misstep. He argued that weaponizing the dollar through sanctions and financial restrictions is gradually eroding global trust in the currency and weakening its dominance.
According to Putin, while sanctions may strain targeted economies in the short term, the long-term consequence could be reduced confidence in the U.S. financial system itself. He cautioned that continued reliance on the dollar as a political lever may accelerate shifts toward alternatives such as gold, digital assets, and increased non-dollar trade agreements.
Market analysts view the remarks as a pointed signal from Moscow amid rising geopolitical tensions, suggesting that the global financial landscape could evolve if current strategies persist.
