vitalyo Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Trump intends to devalue the US currency to increase exports According to Politico, advisers to the Republican candidate, if he wins the election, intend to devalue the US currency in order to increase exports. It is assumed that the mechanism will be similar to the Plaza Agreement concluded in 1985 , which significantly reduced the competitiveness of Japanese industry as opposed to American industry. This idea was proposed by the luminary of American trade policy Robert Emmett Lighthizer, who worked with Reagan. He is a representative (lobbyist) of the so-called American “rust belt”. He advocates and pushes for strict protectionist measures. So, at his instigation, a number of laws were indeed passed restricting imports from China and Japan. It would seem that it was now possible to once again push through laws to increase import duties, etc., but, apparently, the situation has completely worsened and really tough measures are needed. It is already becoming clear that sober and arrogant industrialists appeared in the United States, who began to firmly defend the revival of the classical manufacturing economy in the United States. The first and easiest way to reduce the debt burden while reducing the ability to increase public debt is, of course, to trade in what is not necessary to produce and lies simply underfoot: oil, gas. But in order to move further along the export path, real competitive advantages are needed. And here industrialists are really ready to take radical measures. Devaluation of the dollar is a tough measure and apparently society is being prepared to take tough measures. Spring 2025 tremendous Pho soup ONLY $120 Get some!
