標(biāo)題:The ironies of Trump’s tantrums about the dollar

His policies would cement the US currency’s dominance while undercutting the institutional framework that is its bedrock

正文：US president-elect Donald Trump wants a weaker dollar in order to boost exports, protect American jobs from foreign competition and reduce the trade deficit. He also wants a strong dollar and will not brook any challenges to its dominance in global finance. If that is not enough of an inconsistency, the new administration’s policies could well be at cross-purposes with both of those intentions. Its actions will probably boost the dollar’s value in the short run while its status as a reserve currency may well become shakier.
