USD remains and will remain dominant. Trillions in dollar denominated debt and derivatives, insurance products and assets exist globally. No other country willing to run prolonged & massive deficits required for a reserve currency. No other country, of sufficient size, has as predictable legal and regulatory dispute resolution environment. No other country currently has capabilities to protect overseas shipping - a key component of global trade.

USD dominance isn't going anywhere despite hurt feelings over Trump or US policies.
