U.S. Secretary of State: Sanctions Will No Longer Work in 5 Years
Washington is losing its leverage as global trade shifts to local currencies
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the U.S. will no longer be able to effectively impose sanctions on other countries within the next five years due to the rise of trade settlements in local currencies, which is weakening the dominance of the U.S. dollar.
Why Are U.S. Sanctions Losing Power?
According to Rubio, China and Brazil have already switched to bilateral trade using their national currencies, which reduces dependence on the dollar and makes U.S. sanctions less effective.
- The U.S. previously used financial institutions to block assets and transactions of sanctioned countries.
- Now, many nations are seeking alternatives and moving away from the dollar, reducing Washington's ability to exert economic pressure.
Rubio warned that if this trend continues, the U.S. will no longer be able to use sanctions against countries like Russia, China, Iran, and other BRICS members.
Trump’s Position
President Donald Trump warned BRICS nations that any attempt to undermine the dollar or create an alternative currency would result in 100% tariffs on exports to the U.S..
- BRICS is expanding, with new members including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
- Russia and China are already advocating for a new reserve currency, which threatens U.S. economic dominance.
What’s Next?
If more countries continue to shift away from the dollar, Washington will lose one of its most powerful tools of global influence.
The key question remains: Will the U.S. try to forcefully maintain the dollar’s dominance, or is the world entering a new economic era?
