Trump is a classic American president. For some Trump can play for the victim better than anybody else on the world stage. It is perhaps part of the reason why his American foreign policy is such a success.

If sovereign countries do not want to use the U.S. dollar for trade? We can't let that happen. You can't have sovereign countries using their own currency for trade.
If we lost the dollar... That would make us a third-world country and we can't let it happen.
Trump makes a number of interesting statements in regard to why sovereign countries should not be allowed to trade with their own currency.
- 1:16 mins If we lost the dollar continuing as the world's currency I think that would be the equivalent of losing a war. That would make us a third-world country and we can't let it happen.
- 2:00 mins If you don't honor the dollar as the world's currency..... that's OK I am going to put tariffs all over your products.
- 3:01 mins And these countries like Russia. It's going out now and doing its own thing and ya know they're going out bragging about how they don't need us anymore. etc etc...

If America needs more US dollars do they just need to add a zero to the balance sheet of the Fed? Trump threatens BRICS with 100% tariffs if BRICS tries to move away from the US dollar. You could call it an acknowledgment that the US might be worried about systems that move away from the effectiveness of the dollar and sanctions from the West for US foreign policy. Of course, the threats from a US decision are exactly the reason why other countries might not feel safe with staying with the dollar and payment systems.

Along the lines what other kind of business is there? Trump ordered a CIA operation to dish on China. This might remind you of a book with the self-explaining title of Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. I wonder how several countries in the South Pacific might receive the news, Including Australia where the Federal Government canceled (April 2021) the Victorian Belt and Road due to the alleged Chinese debt trap. Was that action in part because of a CIA social media operation? I am not saying China is squeaky clean but neither is dirty business tactics.
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
According to Perkins, his job at the firm was to convince leaders of underdeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects. Ensuring that these projects were contracted to U.S. companies, such loans provided political influence for the US and access to natural resources for American companies,[1]: 15, 239 thus primarily helping local elites and wealthy families, rather than the poor.
The book heavily criticizes U.S. foreign policy and the notion that "all economic growth benefits humankind, and that the greater the growth, the more widespread the benefits."[1]: xii Perkins suggests that, in many cases, only a small portion of the population benefits at the expense of the rest, pointing to, as an example, an increase in income inequality, whereby large U.S. corporations exploit cheap labor, and oil companies destroy local environments.

Nord Stream 2 a gas line project where Germany could get cheaper energy gas supplies from Russia. Trump comes out of the closet saying how bad it will be to give Russia power over your economy with that type of energy supply. So I'm going to sanction any company that helps to finish the Nord Stream 2 gas line and Germany can buy their gas supplies from America(Classic America). Of course, you could say Russia and Germany were not happy that America interfered with their sovereignty but it is just Trump economics. Nothing to see here move along.

24 May 2019 - The US won a trade war against Japan. But China is a whole new ball game
In the 1980s, Japan was the big bad. Its economy was booming — the second largest in the world — and many in the United States feared they were about to be overtaken.
Yet the Plaza Accord wasn’t the end of US action against Japan. In 1987, Washington imposed 100% tariffs on $300 million worth of Japanese imports, effectively blocking them from the American market.
Things quickly turned sour for Tokyo. As the yen increased in value, Japanese products became more and more expensive, and countries turned away from the one-time export powerhouse. Efforts by the country’s central bank to keep the yen’s value low sparked a stock price bubble, the collapse of which helped push the country into recession and a “lost decade.”
“Japan’s export and GDP growth essentially halted in the first half of 1986,” economists Joshua Felman and Daniel Leigh wrote in a report for the International Monetary Fund. They concluded that while the Plaza Accord did not cause Japan’s economic downturn by itself, it did trigger a series of events — compounded by poor decisions in Tokyo — which led to the collapse.
Some of Trump’s first forays into politics involved railing against Japan during the 1980s and early 1990s. During that time, he started calling for the use of tariffs as a trade weapon.
