Imagine the scene: Elon Musk, black sunglasses and a MAGA cap firmly on his head, wielding a red chainsaw under the applause of a conservative crowd. Behind him, Javier Milei, Argentine president and figure of ultraliberalism, wears a triumphant smile. On Thursday, February 20, 2025, at the CPAC in Washington, the symbol is violent, almost punk. The chainsaw, gifted by Milei to Musk, embodies much more than a media gadget. It summarizes a declared war against bureaucracy, waged by two iconoclasts determined to redefine the rules of power.

The dominance of the US dollar in international trade is being challenged more than ever. A powerful bloc, the BRICS, is actively seeking to free itself from this by developing an alternative currency. In response to this offensive, Donald Trump, true to his style, does not intend to remain a spectator. The American president is wielding the threat of massive economic sanctions to deter any attempt to undermine the hegemony of the greenback. But can this strategy truly reverse the trend, or is it likely to accelerate the ongoing dynamics?

The global geopolitical balance is undergoing significant changes. Russia, which was once a member of the G8 before its exclusion in 2014, is now adopting a radically different stance. In the face of what it perceives as a decline in the influence of Western powers, Moscow now favors the BRICS and the G20, at the expense of a G7 deemed obsolete. This strategic reconfiguration goes beyond a mere diplomatic adjustment; it illustrates a broader shift in power dynamics, where emerging economies are gaining ground against Western-dominated institutions. Through the statements of its ambassador to Canada, Russia confirms its definitive disengagement from the G7 and outlines the contours of a new international order.

Instead, the bloc prioritizes joint investment platforms, leaving doubt about its true monetary strategy.

In an unprecedented turn for American economic policy, Donald Trump has signed a presidential decree that creates a national sovereign wealth fund, a groundbreaking initiative in the United States. This financial instrument aims to stimulate economic growth, fund strategic infrastructure, and potentially enable the acquisition of TikTok. The platform, under scrutiny from Washington for national security reasons, must divest itself of its Chinese shareholders in order to continue operations on American soil. Drawing inspiration from the sovereign wealth fund models of China, Norway, and Singapore, the Trump administration hopes to reduce U.S. dependence on borrowing and enhance its global economic influence. However, the establishment of such a mechanism raises numerous questions: how could a country that is accumulating massive budget deficits finance such a project? What would be the geopolitical implications of a direct intervention in a globally significant technology company? Balancing economic ambition with diplomatic challenges, this sovereign wealth fund represents a major shift that could redefine the role of the American state on the international stage.

With the recent expansion of this bloc to new influential members, the global landscape is enriched with unprecedented dynamics, challenging the hegemony of Western institutions. While Donald Trump embarks on a second term in the United States, focused on a protectionist and isolationist policy, the rise of the BRICS represents a strategic challenge with profound implications.

For several decades, French budget management has been a source of recurring tensions, but the current situation has reached an unprecedented level. In 2025, the censorship of the budget voted by the Senate plunged the country into a major financial crisis, with losses estimated at 100 million euros per day. In the absence of a new text validated by the National Assembly, the budget for 2024 remains in effect, depriving the state of essential revenue and savings measures. Amélie de Montchalin, Minister for Public Accounts, warns about the repercussions of this deadlock and emphasizes both its economic cost and the institutional challenges it reveals.

For several decades, global economic alliances have been evolving due to geopolitical and economic transformations. The BRICS bloc embodies this dynamic through its expansion to new members in order to consolidate its influence on the international stage. In 2023, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, received an official invitation to join this strategic alliance. However, unlike other countries such as Iran or the United Arab Emirates, which quickly accepted, Riyadh is adopting a cautious stance. Faisal Al-Ibrahim, the Saudi Minister of Economy and Planning, emphasized that the kingdom continues to carefully assess the implications of membership. This strategic choice raises questions about Saudi Arabia's true intentions and its future role in this new economic balance.
