      Dedollarization would happen.

      It will be painful for countries which are vulnerable and ill prepared.

      I honestly think there’s a good chance it will happen soon. Trump is speed running “how to dismantle the US power and influence in one presidential term”.

      I am convinced he is a total Putin puppet and the only reason it doesn’t always seem that way, is to be able to deny those allegations.

                      Yes but it’s a speed run to 0.

                        The biggest ill-prepared country here would be the US.

                        Withdrawing from the fund would be a significant own goal. If it were to do so, the US would lose all influence over the IMF’s policies and operations. More importantly, withdrawal would dramatically diminish the international role of the US dollar.

                        Hmm so probably going to be announced next week

                            It may take a while to get there, but I reckon a far less globally influential USA might eventually be a net positive for the world.

                              But would it personally make Trump a few bucks richer?

                                  This is honestly the only way to predict what the man will do. Identify even the slightest personal advantage to his move.

                                  Why run for president in 2024? To avoid jail. Why put tariffs on and off? To buy and sell stocks as the market bends to your tweets. Why act like a religious right wing weirdo? To have no personal accountability. Why pull out of nato? Because someone personally offended you. Why host political events at maralago? To make a quick buck renting out rooms. He’s so transparent it’s pitiful.

                                      A community for discussing events around the World

                                      Rules:

                                      • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

                                        • Post news articles only
                                        • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
                                        • Title must match the article headline
                                        • Not United States Internal News
                                        • Recent (Past 30 Days)
                                        • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
                                      • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

                                      • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

                                      • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

                                      • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

                                      • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

                                      Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

                                      • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

                                      • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

                                      We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

                                      All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
