Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Foreign Policy

Stop weaponizing the US dollar to avoid world currency

KENNEDY: Nobody wanted an alternative to the U.S. dollar. This happened because of our weaponization of the U.S. dollar and unilateral weaponization of our control of the world currency. We were pounding people's personal assets if the government misbehaves and do it unilaterally. We need to deescalate our violence around the world which has driven the creation of BRICS. [China] wants to bury us but they want to do it on an economic playing field. And they need us. You know, they cannot survive without us.
