It may happen, if the trade war between the United States and China escalates further. So far, both the sides have refused to give in and one of the consequences have been a 20% increase in the gold prices. The Americans should not chew more than what they could swallow. I have a feeling that Donald Trump is taking it a bit too far.
Their are more speculations that confirms the possibility in USA and I think it will bring more problems for Trump with his denial of the economic crises ever taken place. Russia will definitely benefit from the situation and I believe the warning is part of the strategy from Putin.
If they keep denying their economic crisis, that would be a problem for them then as they will not be able to get any aide to salvage their situation, and I think this is why they are secrete printing money which I heard about $75 billion was printed and injected, this will only solve the situation temporary and may never hold it long before the crisis escalate, which they are owning so much debt.
I wonder what trump has been doing and how him as a business man could watch this happen, I am not sure that he will still be able to win again with all this crisis on ground and instead of him looking for a way to sort it out with other great countries like china, what he is doing is to be having trade crisis with them joined to the economy crises that they have already.
