“America promised after World War II that the dollar would have a gold equivalent.
In the early 1970s, during the Nixon era, the US decided to separate the dollar from gold, so it became a priceless paper.
However, the United States was able to buy whatever they want around the world for pieces of paper that have no price, ”he said.
According to him, this is theft, "and all over the world."
“Today, the US raised interest rates, and for this reason, all other currencies have fallen in price, while the countries with the weakest economies have suffered.
Yes, it is a way of blockade, because the dollar is the world's currency, and this dollar goes through the American banks or through the so-called Federal Reserve System, and you are under the power of the dollar.
Therefore, your entire future as a state, country, people, as a society, as an economy, depends on the grace of America.
Of course, this is part of the blockade, without a doubt,” Assad said.
