Remaking the International Monetary System: Brent Johnson on the Mar-a-Lago Accord

This podcast interviews Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital to discuss the potential "Mar-A-Lago Accord," a concept for restructuring U.S. debt and potentially revaluing the U.S. gold supply. The discussion explores the implications of this plan on the U.S. dollar, global trade, and relations with China. Johnson highlights the inherent contradictions within the plan and the potential for significant economic volatility. A key takeaway is the suggestion that holding precious metals, particularly gold, may be a prudent strategy given the uncertainty surrounding the proposed changes. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the potential for a geopolitical shift and the implications for various asset classes.
