The End of Capital Hogging
The plan now is to divert forex from the US and weaken the USD. The old scheme worked by controlling developing countries' access to hard currencies. It was just a matter of suddenly pulling out hard currencies for the developing countries to collapse. And then send the World Bank and the IMF to "save" them.

Developing countries after the Asian Meltdown of 1997-98 smarted up, floated their currencies and piled forex reserves. But remember the developed countries' old scheme needed developed countries to hog capital to control the Emerging Markets. Emerging markets kept helping them hog by sending their forex to the US by buying US Treasuries. .
Emerging Markets became vaccinated against the treatment that the developed countries were giving them before. Next, they grew too big and too fast, making the forex pile too big for the old scheme to work.

The US does not want forex piled in treasuries. Lower imports which send dollars to Emerging Markets to recycle them into US treasuries. That will lower consumption in the US by making imports more expensive.
How?
Tariff imported products.

What Elmat says, it happens.
