We've talked about the global central bank coordination of the past fifteen years — and why the coming regime change at the Fed will likely end it.
That said, the Trump administration has also rejected the UN agenda 2030, which is designed around a globally coordinated climate and social agenda.
That was clear last week, in Trump's speech at the UN.
What was also clear, other Western world leaders (and the UN Secretary-General) followed that speech by doubling down on the agenda.
Even China announced its first formal targets for reducing emissions.
Add to this, while the U.S. has rejected central bank digital currencies (CBDC), opting for private, regulated dollar stablecoins. Much of the rest of the world seems to be racing forward to launch central bank digital currencies — 137 countries representing 98% of global GDP are exploring a CBDC.
The Trump administration has also rejected federal digital ID initiatives. The UK's Prime Minister said on Friday that a digital ID is coming: "You will not be able to work in the UK if you do not have digital ID."
This all ties in with the climate agenda, so we should expect mandatory digital ID and CBDCs to come for other major U.S. trading partners.
With that, if we thought the tariff strategy alone was enough to re-align the world with the U.S., the past week suggests the opposite: the world is wiring up two systems. One attracts capital, around abundance (energy, industrialization, innovation). The other demands compliance, controlling access to money and markets, delivering managed scarcity.
