:::::::::::Well, duh. It's still measured in dollars. Which the [[United States]] can put its thumb on the scale by [[inflation|inflating]] the world's reserve currency.

:::::::::::Deeper dive: Inflating the global reserve currency is called "[[weaponizing the dollar]]". Let's take [[User:Conservative]]'s "basket of goods" approach and understand what it really means vis-a-vis the rest of the world's trade with the [[United States]].
:::::::::::Examples: [[China]] exports manufactured goods to the US, or Venezuelan oil imports. This "basket of goods" consists of consumer products in exchange for paper IOUs (dollars}. [https://youtu.be/XXPKci5nFXw "More inflation. It's a great asset. What a stupid SOB"]. IOWs, the US plunders the world's goods and resources with worthless paper.
