JUST IN: 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Donald Trump says he will remove US sanctions on Russia because it's hurting the dollar.

Amid BRICS’ ongoing move to weaken the currency, Donald Trump has admitted that United States sanctions are hurting the dollar. During a recent appearance, the former president noted that he would lift all sanctions on Russia and Iran if he were to win reelection in November.

The weaponization of the greenback has driven mass de-dollarization over the last several years. They have primarily been driven by the BRICS bloc. Since 2022, Western sanctions have driven Moscow to seek increased trade in local currencies. With the economic alliance seeking to institute its own payment system, lifting those sanctions would certainly provide an interesting development.

For the last several years, the BRICS bloc has firmly embraced de-dollarization. Although the US currency is still the primary global reserve asset, its position atop global finance has certainly been threatened. According to the Atlantic Council’s Dollar Dominance Meter, the global share of the greenback as a global reserve asset has fallen to 58% in 2024.

Now, Donald Trump has placed the blame on the asset’s weaponization. Amid the BRICS challenge of the currency, the former United States president says sanctions are hurting the US dollar’s value. Moreover, Trump vows to lift sanctions if he is once again voted into the Oval Office.

As summer draws to a close, leaders often feel pressure to optimize their team's efficiency for the next quarter. Common approaches like shortening break times, increasing meeting productivity, or analyzing email traffic seem logical but fail to account for how the brain functions. In fact, these tactics may do more harm than good by pushing teams to work against their natural cognitive rhythms. Dr. Mithu Storoni, a Cambridge-trained neuroscientist and author of Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work, shared a more effective solution with me. Her research shows that true efficiency in today's technology-driven world comes from aligning work habits with the brain's natural rhythms. Instead of pushing through fatigue, Storoni advocates for structuring work around periods of peak cognitive performance. By doing so, leaders can unlock higher quality output, greater creativity, and a more sustainable pace for their teams. Here are three pow...

TikTok will start making its case on Monday against a law that will see it banned in the US unless Chinese owner ByteDance sells the social media app within nine months.

The measure - signed into law by President Biden in April - has been prompted by concerns that US users' data is vulnerable to exploitation by China's government. TikTok and ByteDance have always denied links to the Chinese authorities and have described the law an "extraordinary intrusion on free speech rights." The firm, which claims to have more than 170 million US users, will make its arguments before a three-judge panel at an appeals court in Washington DC. TikTok launches fight for its life in court With the clock ticking on a potential ban, the ultra-popular app is politically more important than ever.
