Experts: US Pressure on Global Gold Mining Countries Intensifies Geopolitical Tensions
The Russian Exhibition Foundation released a report titled "Gold Hunt: De-globalization and the Struggle for Raw Material Bases as a Factor of Growth." According to the report cited by Sputnik News, pressuring gold mining countries is becoming a trend in U.S. foreign policy, thereby triggering new geopolitical tensions.
Analysts said that due to U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in gold, pressuring gold-producing countries "will become a trend in U.S. foreign policy." The document states: "Pressuring gold mining countries is becoming a trend in U.S. foreign policy, thereby triggering new geopolitical tensions."
The report authors explained that in the existing financial system, gold is the only alternative that can replace the dollar as the main reserve asset in the world. Until a system that can replace the dollar is established, there will continue to be high interest in this precious metal and the redistribution of gold reserves. This may be related to the attention of major geopolitical players towards countries such as Venezuela and Nigeria.
The Russian Exhibition Foundation stated: "Venezuela is an important gold resource country in the Western Hemisphere, which helps it bypass sanctions and makes it an important monetary hub in a multipolar financial system. Washington has recently increased pressure on Caracas, demanding that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro resign and considering possible action plans until military action is taken."
The report authors pointed out that Trump also instructed the Pentagon to prepare for a potential military operation in Nigeria, accusing it of not taking sufficient measures to stop violence against Christians.
