Franklin Templeton said in a report to clients that America's actions in Venezuela may increase uncertainty about the dollar's role as a safe-haven currency, while also raising further questions about the deterioration of international standards. The company said this was because the Trump administration strengthened the idea that the US is willing to act unilaterally and use force. As a result, other countries with territorial interests elsewhere may be encouraged by the use of force by the United States, the company added.
