“The train’s on the track” for a U.S. strategy to counter China-led de-dollarization, reveals Professor Steve Hanke. In this exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, Hanke, who is actively in the room with the White House and Treasury, details the “serious strategy that’s being thought through and developed.” He cautions that it’s a ‘pretty heavy-duty lift’ focused on a ‘pro-dollarization movement,’ but identifies one pivotal nation where success would trigger a geopolitical domino effect, making it essentially ‘game over. The U.S. won.'”
