Iran is reportedly considering demanding Chinese yuan for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that could challenge the US dollar's dominance in global energy trade. This potential de-dollarization strategy aims to bypass sanctions and bolster ties with China, potentially leading to global financial market volatility and impacting India's crude imports.
Just discovered President Alexander Stubb interviewed on the Rest is Politics Podcast: nice hearing three smart people talking about global politics from my own "home" perspective.
Also interesting to see how much more freely he speaks about his own political career in such a context than if the audience was the Finnish media! 😀🥸
