Saudi Arabia ends 50-year petrodollar deal with US for multi-currency sales
Saudi Arabia has decided not to renew its 50-year petrodollar deal with the United States, which expired on Sunday, June 9, as per media reports.
This agreement, originally signed on June 8, 1974, had been a key part of US global economic influence.
The deal set up joint commissions for economic cooperation and Saudi Arabia’s military needs. Back then, American officials hoped it would encourage Saudi Arabia to produce more oil and strengthen economic ties with Arab countries.
By choosing not to extend this contract, Saudi Arabia can now sell oil and other goods using different currencies, such as the Chinese RMB, Euros, Yen, and Yuan, instead of only US dollars. There’s also talk of exploring digital currencies like Bitcoin for transactions.
This decision marks a significant move away from the petrodollar system established in 1972 when the US stopped linking its currency directly to gold.
It’s expected to accelerate the global trend of using currencies other than the US dollar in international trade.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia has joined Project mBridge, a collaborative effort exploring a digital currency platform shared among central banks and commercial banks.
This project aims to facilitate instant cross-border payments and foreign-exchange transactions using distributed ledger technology.
Project mBridge began in 2021 and involves several prominent central banks and institutions worldwide. It recently reached the stage of Minimum Viable Product (MVP), inviting private-sector firms to propose innovations and use cases to further develop the platform.
This move by Saudi Arabia marks the beginning of a major shift in global economic dynamics, though its full implications on international trade and finance remain to be seen.

No surprise. Whoever is really in charge of the fraudulently installed “Biden” Administration is working hard to undermine any residual value the dollar may have. Personally, I think the the same lawless agencies (CIA) that rigged the 2020 election and forced open our borders to all the world’s criminals have defected to the side of Xi and the CCP.

“Multiple currencies” is another way of saying CBDCs. They went to BMJI, which has the Chinese social credit score system in it’s roots.
They will soon force acceptance of slavery in order to purchase oil. Obey a command and look into the machine is all it takes. They aren’t telling people exactly who or what they’re registering their bodies with though.

The USA Corrupticrats order Saudi Arabia to not renew the Petrodollar Agreement…this, in order to more quickly collapse the Dollar…quietly at first from Across the other side of the World… deniability. Also ordered to accept other currencies in exchange…and the otherwise named CBDC. It’s a go. Oh, BYE USA will still guarantee SA security…while destroying its own.
Make sense?
