Is Trump about to pull off the ultimate "Art of the Deal" using Putin’s own frozen billions?
The news hitting the wires today is insane. Trump is apparently open to Putin using $1 BILLION of frozen Russian assets to buy a seat at the new "Board of Peace." Think about that—money that was locked away as a "punishment" is now being used as a "membership fee" for a massive diplomatic pivot.
This isn't just about Ukraine or Gaza anymore. Trump is signaling that he’s willing to turn sanctions into a negotiating chip in real-time. It’s high-stakes, it’s radical, and it’s splitting the world right down the middle.
Supporters are calling it a "Genius Move" to make leaders have actual skin in the game. Critics are terrified that this kills the power of future sanctions and sets a wild precedent for global debt.
One thing is for sure: Trump is rewriting the rulebook of power politics on the fly.
Is this a historic breakthrough for peace, or a geopolitical gamble that could blow up the global financial order? Drop your take belowI need to know what you guys think about this "Board of Peace" logic.
Here is what to watch:
De-Dollarization Fears: If frozen assets can be "unlocked" for a political membership fee, other nations (China, Saudi Arabia) might worry their US Treasury holdings are just as "political." This could push more capital into Gold and Bitcoin as neutral alternatives.
Bond Market Volatility: Frozen assets are mostly held in government bonds. Moving $1 billion—or the potential for more reconstruction funds later—affects global bond liquidity. Watch the 10-Year Treasury yield; if it spikes, the market is "pricing in" the risk of a new financial order.
