US' World Reserve Currency Status could be lost to soaring debt, tariffs or military threats..

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 (@gtconway.bsky.social) 2026-01-18T15:50:21.644Z


Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

3. Before Trump's first term only

Libya and Iran talked about alternatives to the dollar as reserve currency. During Trump's first term even France and Germany began to talk about it openly. It was reported on. The US electorate will get what we deserve. An ignorant and apathetic electorate and a democracy which produces the best results for its people do not go together.
