Emergence of the Petrodollar (1971-1975)
In order to preserve an increasing demand for the dollar, and thus maintain a dominant global position, the US needed a plan. In order for this plan to succeed, it would require that the artificial dollar demand that had been lost in the wake of the Bretton Woods collapse to be replaced through some other mechanism.
In the early 1970s, the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, made an agreement with the Saudi royal family. The US agreed to provide Saudi Arabia with military defence and weapons to protect themselves from Israel, as well as protection for Saudi oil fields, subject to two conditions:
Saudi Arabia must be willing to price all of their oil sales in USD only
Saudi Arabia would be open to investing surplus oil proceeds in US debt securities
By 1975, all oil-producing nations in OPEC had agreed to price their oil in USD and hold surplus oil in US debt securities subject to similar military aid and reinforcement.
The petrodollar system immediately gave new benefits to the US. The global demand for US$ and debt securities increased, the US remained self-sufficient and capable of purchasing oil with the currency it prints at will, while the Federal Reserve could maintain low, stable interest rates.

The reason why it's not true is because we live in a fiat currency system, where the United States government can create an infinite number of dollars at no cost to meet its obligations. A Treasury bill is a promise that the government will give you US dollars--something that the United States government can produce infinitely and at no cost.

Enkel kan man förklara det som så att det är US-dollar som är guldstandarden idag (i och med petrodollarn) och USA väljer hur mycket "guld" det finns i världen. Om USA vill så kan dom betala tillbaka alla skulder imorgon genom att trycka upp mer pengar, vilket dom redan gör. Detta leder dock till att alla dollar i hela världen tappar värde i form av inflation. De länder som har mycket dollar blir helt enkelt väldigt fort väldigt mycket fattigare vilket också är vad som sker i världen. USA exporterar sina finansiella problem till övriga länder i världen helt enkelt.
Anledningen till att USA är oroliga idag är att petrodollarn har fått allvarlig konkurrens från Yuan vilket kan ta ifrån dom makten att trycka obegränsat med pengar framöver...
Aja hoppas vi får någon kärlek från Trump i framtiden.
