US Making Mistake by Discrediting Dollar As Reserve Currency - Putin

The United States is making a mistake by discrediting the dollar as a reserve currency, Russian President Vladimir Putin said commenting on the possibility of the US imposing sanctions on settlements in dollars.

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 03rd October, 2018) The United States is making a mistake by discrediting the Dollar as a reserve Currency, Russian President Vladimir Putin said commenting on the possibility of the US imposing sanctions on settlements in Dollars.

"It seems to me that our American partners make a huge strategic mistake, undermine confidence in the dollar as a universal reserve currency... They undermine trust in it, as in this universal tool, they really bite the hand that feeds them. It seems to me that this is a typical mistake of any empire, when people think that nothing will happen, everything is so powerful, so strong, stable that there will be no negative consequences," Putin said at the Russian Energy Week.

"But they occur early or late," he said.
