MOSCOW (Sputnik) - No one refused to use the dollar, it was the United States that restricted a number of countries in this right, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"As for the dollar, no one has actually rejected the use of the dollar. The issuing country - that is, the United States, has restricted a number of countries' right to use the dollar — and these countries, of course, use alternative payments and alternative forms," Peskov told reporters.
If the United States abandons the practice of restricting the use of the dollar, "then the dollar will have to compete with other alternative currencies and with the national currencies that are being used more and more widely around the world," Peskov noted.
