As this process occurs, other currencies like the ruble, the yuan, and the rupee are looking to take center stage in international trade deals. In this episode of The 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes sits down with global financial expert & analyst Tom Luongo to discuss the long-anticipated demise of the US dollar and the geopolitical fallout it will have.

CrossTalking with Lucas Gage, David T. Pyne, and Guy Mettan.
