<description>&lt;p&gt;Financial Consultant Laurent Lequeu discusses the story behind the tariffs, how Washington is attempting to weaken the Russia-China-India bloc, and gives his opinion on whether he thinks Trump will be successful. The world financial center will shift to the Global South and he explains in particular where he thinks that may be. He expects the U.S. to retreat to Fortress America and dedollarization to continue. He talks gold, CBDCs, bitcoin, and inflation. The EU seeks war to scapegoat its own incompetence, instability, collapse, and tyranny.&lt;/p&gt;
