flag U.S. and allied economic sanctions remain key tools in foreign policy, notably targeting Russia over Ukraine, with mixed results due to implementation challenges. flag While sanctions have disrupted Russian finances, resilience and global financial shifts, including dedollarization and rising gold reserves, threaten the dollar’s dominance. flag Meanwhile, "positive economic statecraft" — using aid, trade, and investment to build stability — is gaining traction, especially in Ukraine and Syria, with calls to strengthen U.S. development finance to counter China’s influence. flag Coordinated efforts among Western nations are seen as vital for long-term success.
