How much influence does China or Russia have over Europe? Africa is a dumping ground for anyone. In trades, Europe is No1. So, can we discuss the influence China and Russia are exerting without having to spend?

Such an illogical and emotional statement.
Organizations like UN and WTO were not formed for Africans only, were they ?

What do you know? If USA don't want to fund it's 11% then let them allow other countries to stop using $$$ dollars as reserved currency of the world. The moment this stops America is gone. That's why Trump is threatening to sanction BRICS countries.
Little kids. Other countries can not stop for a simple reason.

When you export as a Nigerian to Ghana, you will be paid in cedis. Now, what can you buy in Nigeria with cedis? Vice versa, a Ghanaian exporting to Nigeria and getting paid in naira.


This is the reason why China and Russia have not dumped the dollars 100%. Because it is readily available in countries that don't have equal exports and imports from them—covering the deficit.

Trump has been threatening BRICS countries with 100% tariffs against dumping the US dollar, claiming they are attacking the US by planning to float their own currency. That is force!

Check Google if you think that isn't true.
Yes, I understand, but that's not force , you can't be benefiting from the the US dollars and also be planning to abandoned it ...Baba reason am now.
Trump is only increasing taxes on their services and withdrawing the US dollar aid to them since they don't want it ... It's not force , no be fight , impose your own taxes and drop the dollars too simple ..
You can't have your cake and eat it ...Baba no allow anybody use u blow o to your own detriment, they will abandon you ...so if the brics leaves the dollars , the brics currency becomes the best , the dollars falls and America suffers who lose ??...
Go find out, Naira used to be the best ahead of the US dollars before, all Arab countries trades in Naira , that's why there Arabic interpretation in the naira notes , it was same mistake our leaders made that put us where we are today..they have all abandoned naira today...if the US make same mistake they would regret it...thank God for proactive Trump

Another emotional fact-absent take. Russia funds WHO, the UN World Food Programme (WFP), and the World Bank among others.
it's hard to educate kids like you, EU total funding to the UN funding system in 2022 for instance was just 6% , please do well to find out how much US alone contributed that year being the largest funder of the UN.

It may also interest you to know that non state actors like foundations and NGO that contributes to the UN first 45 are from the US with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation the highest contributor, none is from Russia or China.

Is it a fight when we say we don't want the US Dollar as universal currency?
It's not a fight , but do want to benefit from same US dollars u don't want to use ?



Same mistake our leaders made on almighty NAIRA before

Nigeria naira used t be the best ahead of the US dollars , most if not all Arab countries trade in Naira ,reason for the Arab interpretation in the naira notes , they were even trading naira then ...but today , where is the naira ?, they have all abandoned it ...and so u want Trump to fold his hand and watch despite all the benefits they get from the dollars ? , kole work ,

Selective analysis. How about 2023? 2024? The US is a world power, hence the big spending which has laid them into debt. Thanks to Trump's reforms, most of that cost will be cut.

China has stepped up funding recently to boost its position since its hold is met with mixed reactions as compared to the UN is the US's home turf.

Explain how
WTO, NATO, VOA, USAID. These were avenues the US has used to maintain its hold on many countries. There are many articles on the net and videos on YouTube that go in depth on this.

America have been funding the world for too long.
Others should take up that responsibility if e easy..

The world should stop using the US dollars as a global currency of trade to help the American dollars.
It's not as easy as you think. This might be feasible for countries the US has an equal standing with, however, smaller countries like Nigeria can't try it. If we do, you might be surprised by the next action of the US.

And the world was also helping US by using its currency.

What's wrong if we also looked away?
why did you not let the world use your useless naira since?

We too can trade without the dollar.

Nothing wrong with it.

Abi na
But you cant benefit from the dollar,very simple .
Trump is doing what our Nigerian leaders ought to have done in 1967 to protect the naira ...instead they sold the naira ...Trump is right to protect the US dollar, let no one condemn him... He is a patriot...u unlike the goat we have in Nigeria that will sell us to Trump for nothing

If the world reverts to Euro or Yuan

It only requires like Europe, China and india accepting the currency for general trade

That is all.

Re: US Cuts Funding For World Trade Organization by gigabyte13: 2:06pm On Mar 28, 2025
It is a welcome development, let Trump kukuma stop funding all that USA is funding, it will reduce their dictating power.
Let him continue....
Last time l watch the Senate committee sitting on the leak war plan in Yemen
One of the senators Said
China and Russia are filling the part we are withdrawing from.
No problem let Trump continue

America can trade in its currency.

Other countries can do the same.

Why is this a problem?

He is cutting funding for programs to grant $1.5trn tax cut to the rich Americans

Removing American soft power they have had and maintained for decades.
NAIVE NIGERIANS THINK TRUMP IS DOING ALL THIS “BECAUSE HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY”.

NIGERIANS ARE JUST IGNORANT.

THEY DON’T KNOW ANYTHING.

SHUT YOUR ROTTEN SLAVE LIPS THERE, YOU NASTY LITTLE WRETCH. THE US RAPED AFRICA AND THE ENTIRE WORLD THROUGH SLAVERY RIGHT THROUGH TO ITS DOMINANCE OF THE IMF AND WORLD BANK, AND DETHRONING VIA ITS INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, PROGRESSIVE REGIMES ACROSS AFRICA FOR DECADES, FUELLING CONFLICTS WITH HER WEAPONS, AND OTHER ATROCITIES.

HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE AMERICA IS A VICTIM?

A COUNTRY THAT HAS INVADED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY 98% OF COUNTRIES ON EARTH, TO LOOT AND ENRICH HERSELF?

THE WEALTH OF THAT COUNTRY IS BASED ON THE BRIGANDAGE AND THEFT OF THE WORLD’S RESOURCES, SO SHUT YOUR ROTTEN, INSOLENT LIPS THERE.

JUST PRAY THAT THE DAY OF HER ACCOUNTING IS NOT IN YOUR LIFETIME, BECAUSE SURELY IT WILL COME.

grin nope. He's destroying the country. And it's a good thing too. US imperialism will die under his regime.
It's good for the world if imperialism does, don't you think the imperialism is the harbinger of world conflicts and every form of cheats, a recipe to conflicts and chaos.

Good if imperialism dies a natural death.

I believe all this stuff US is funding over the world there is no way they are getting absolutely nothing financial or otherwise

My question is what are they gonna loose based on this unfunding
They are not gaining money from those, what they gain is dominance and power but trump wants to pay off their 35 trillion dollar dept

There is nothing free even in freetown, they should be ready to let go of that dominance and power knowing fully well that nature abhor vacuum so someone or something else will fill in

Hopefully this will not affect them like weaken their influence and extension influence of dollar

This won't work because USD is a very stable currency; even CHF, which is doing better in value than USD, is not as stable as USD. That is why the world embraces it. Even Putin will have some of his accounts saved in USD.
