Story summary

The U.S. dollar's dominance in global finance is threatened, with some in the Trump administration viewing its reserve status as a burden.
Chief economic adviser Stephen Miran argues that the dollar's position causes trade deficits due to the need for Treasury bond exports.
Losing reserve status could result in significant economic repercussions for the U.S., including reduced global influence and higher borrowing costs.
Tariffs imposed by Trump have already increased U.S. interest rates and led some countries to move away from dollar debt.
Experts warn that undermining the dollar may raise costs for global economic stability.
