He said these steps are making people worldwide move away from the American dollar. At a meeting of the BRICS media on Friday, Putin said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>All the countries of the world are now thinking of whether it is worth to use the dollar if the US limits the dollar use as a universal international settlement unit due to political considerations.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin said, &#8220;The dollar amount used is slowly but surely going down bit by bit, both in payments and in reserves.&#8221; He also said that even traditional U.S. partners are lowering their dollar reserves because of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin also said that sanctions were hitting China, stressing, &#8220;And what is happening with China\u2014one sanction after another also.&#8221; And this has nothing to do with politics; it has to do with the growth of the Chinese economy and the use of different politically driven sanctions to try to stop that growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin said these limits have caused Russia to switch 95% of its trade with other countries to using their currencies. Putin clarified that this change was caused by sanctions from other countries: &#8220;As for finances, we did not give up the dollar as the universal currency; we were not allowed to use it.&#8221; The Russian leader went on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>But now 95% of the whole Russian foreign trade is being made with our partners in national currencies. They did it by their own hands.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin laughed off Western predictions that Russia's economy would fall apart if it stopped using the dollar. He said, &#8220;Western countries thought that &#8216;everything will collapse' in Russia when it stopped using the dollar.&#8221; No, nothing fell; it's building on a new foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin talked about the rising economic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banque-france.fr\/en\/publications-and-statistics\/publications\/expansion-brics-what-are-potential-consequences-global-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">impact of BRICS<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> countries at the BRICS Business Forum in Moscow on the same day.
