 <p>Elon Musk revealed that US foreign policy is heavily one-sided, eventually weakening the economies of developing countries. The highhandedness of the American government is what’s making BRICS and ASEAN countries ditch the US dollar, he said.</p>

 <p>According to Musk, the US is punishing developing countries through sanctions, and they are retaliating by ditching the dollar. This puts the US under pressure, as it would have fewer means to fund its deficit in the long run.</p> 
 <p><strong>“Serious issue. US policy has been too heavy-handed, making countries want to ditch the dollar,”</strong> Musk said in a comment on Twitter. The billionaire also added that the US’s importing inflation is another reason why countries are ending their reliance on the US dollar.<strong> “Combined with excess government spending, which forces other countries to absorb a significant part of our inflation,”</strong> he said.</p>

 <p>The US has currently pressed sanctions against Russia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Crimea, Cuba, and Afghanistan. Sponsoring terrorism and waging war against other countries are the reasons why America pressed sanctions on these nations.</p>
