Donald Trump back to the gold standard

President Trump: Replace The Dollar With Gold As The Global Currency To Make America Great Again.
Global cooperation, dealing with other countries, getting along with other countries is good, it's very important. But there is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency or a global flag. This is the United States of America that I'm representing.
We used to have a very, very solid country because it was based on a gold standard.
Bringing back the gold standard would be very hard to do, but boy, would it be wonderful. We'd have a standard on which to base our money.

Five countries officially joined BRICS

Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have officially joined the BRICS bloc after being invited last year, according to South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor.
"With respect to the BRICS confirmations, five out of the six have confirmed. That is Saudi Arabia, UAE, Ethiopia, Iran and Egypt," Pandor stated on Wednesday.
South Africa revealed in July 2023 that 22 countries have formally requested to join the BRICS group, with an additional equal number expressing informal interest. This surge underscores the global recognition of BRICS as a pivotal alliance representing major emerging economies.

Saudi Arabia to End Petrodollar Pact

In June 2024, Saudi Arabia is expected to announce that it will cease all oil sales in US dollars, marking the end of the 50-year Petrodollar Pact signed on June 6, 1974, which expires on June 9, 2024.
The decision not to renew this pact stems from Saudi Arabia's recent invitation to BRICS and its move towards dedollarization.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has informed the Saudi government that the country will no longer accept US dollars for oil transactions.
This shift includes considerations to accept other currencies, such as the Chinese yuan, for oil sales, as reported by the Wall Street Journal on March 15, 2022.

Gold Standard on Kremlin Desk

Russian president Vladimir Putin is discussing the idea of pegging the Ruble to gold And Commodities.

However, the governor of Russia's central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, told reporters the idea was "not being discussed in any way".
