BRICS may become BICS. Russia proposes return to USD system

Per Grok: Yes, per Bloomberg, a Kremlin memo proposes Russia returning to the US dollar for trade as part of an economic deal with Trump, linked to ending the Ukraine war. It includes market access for US firms and asset compensation.

The Kremlin has set out proposals that could see Russia embrace the dollar again as part of a wide-ranging economic partnership with the Trump administration, according to an internal Russian document reviewed by Bloomberg.

The high-level memo, which was drafted this year, details seven points where, in the Kremlin’s view, Russian and United States economic interests could converge following a deal to end the war in Ukraine. It sees the two countries working together to champion fossil fuels over greener alternatives as well as joint investments in natural gas, offshore oil and critical raw materials plus windfalls for U.S. companies.
