Datoria SUA depășește în premieră 40.000 de miliarde de dolari

The U.S. national debt has surpassed $40 trillion for the first time, raising concerns about budget deficits and financing costs. As of Tuesday, the federal debt reached $40.047 trillion, with a significant portion attributed to public debt and intragovernmental obligations. The debt has doubled in less than a decade, largely due to pandemic-related borrowing and fiscal decisions made under both Trump and Biden administrations. Experts warn that without measures to reduce the deficit, the sustainability of U.S. public finances may be at risk.
