Most people go to doctors for solutions to problems of their own making.
Economists could say the same.
USA doesn't make much of any value anymore except military hardware and financial services. Death and Debt.
Neoliberal financialisation and globalisation has resulted in the destruction of Americas productive economy and infrastructure. More financialisation will not fix it. The centre of productive economic activity and development has shifted- to China.
Trump is trying to maintain US global monetary hegemony- threatening to sanction any BRICS who settle trade outside of the USD- but multiple countries are already doing that...with China leading them.
The only viable option for USA is retreat- into regional hegemony over the Americas. USA cannot now fight a war of any scale without the rare earths supply China controls and has already blocked from export to any military end uses.
