Operation Economic Outcast, Bessent's Economic War With China

The U.S. will enforce strict secondary sanctions on Iran with no loopholes, targeting countries that assist Iran.

Bessent's policy will provoke a full economic war with China, which rejects unilateral U.S. sanctions and backs its refiners.

Excluding countries from the dollar for Iran trade will force them to use BRICS payment systems and accelerate de-dollarization.

Bessent believes China is a fragile house of cards that will collapse under economic pressure, and that the U.S. will survive the resulting chaos.

China dislikes Iran's current stance but will be forced to back it due to U.S. pressure, leading to a stronger anti-U.S. economic bloc.

A trade war with Canada is counterproductive given deep economic integration and projects instability while the U.S. faces larger rivals.
