    Europe wanting to decouple themselves from the USD is a big deal. I feel like we should stress how bad of an economic signal this is regarding the state of the American dollar.

    To mitigate the impact of a second Trump presidency, Nato countries should support the creation of an allied multilateral lending institution, in practice a Nato bank, it says. This could “save nations millions on essential equipment purchases, offer low interest rates on loans to alliance members and introduce a new line of financing with longer repayment timeframes. The bank would be funded with initial subscriptions from Nato members in return for authorised capital stock”.

        I don’t remember the exact number but European Nato countries spend a lot of their military money outside Europe. They need to make their own industry and they know it.
