The petrodollar deal was originally signed on June 8, 1974, and was a key part of US global economic influence.

      Unless my Googling is failing me, as of the moment the contract is expired. They’re purportedly working on a new one, the results of which remain to be seen.

        i’ve posted about it 3 days ago, when sources were 3 crank sites. The contract doesn’t have expiration date that i can find. 50 years has passed, that much is true, but now its allegedly ended (??). Where on earth they got idea the contract was for 50 years to a day, i have no idea.

          Folks, a lot of people are saying.

          Yeah I’m not finding a copy of said contract either on a little bit of digging, nor any direct quotes from officials.

      Yup, it’s on auto-renew every 5 years and neither country has stated that they intend to cancel.
