Trump’s Policies Threaten US Dollar Dominance, Warns Economics Professor

In a recent essay for the Financial Times that is heating up discussions in economic circles, Berkeley professor and author of Exorbitant Privilege: The Rise and Fall of the Dollar, Barry Eichengreen argues that President Donald Trump’s policies are significantly undermining the foundations of U.S. dollar dominance and international economic relationships. Eichengreen highlights concerns over America’s economic exceptionalism, noting a decline in the U.S. share of global exports and the potential negative impact of Trump’s tariff policies and unilateral sanctions on the dollar’s status. He warns that the erosion of transatlantic cooperation and the perception of the U.S. turning away from its allies could further diminish the dollar’s appeal as a global reserve currency. Eichengreen emphasizes that the future of the dollar hinges on the U.S. commitment to the rule of law and its relationships with foreign partners, raising critical questions about the nation’s fiscal health and international standing.
