The plan can be summarized in three points:
-
Disorient the world economic order with tariffs.
-
Drop tariffs for friendly countries willing to peg their currency to the dollar and abide by certain economic and military rules.
-
Charge said countries a regular “user fee” for membership inside this new order.
Europe having their own currency and being adverse to cooperation with the US in terms of this new world order is why Trump is friendlier to Russia and why he is less friendly to Ukraine. Ukraine belongs outside this new order unless they make a “deal” with the US. I would be interested to see if Russia would be willing to peg their currency and pay a membership fee. Probably not.
Literally trying to implement big tech enshittification but with international trade policy… What could possibly go wrong??
