Datoria SUA depășește pragul de 40.000 de miliarde de dolari / 3.800 de miliarde de dolari s-au strâns de la începutul celui de-al doilea mandat al lui Trump

The U.S. national debt has surpassed $40 trillion for the first time, raising concerns about a potential fiscal crisis. Recent Treasury data shows the total debt reached $40.047 trillion, with a significant portion attributed to public Treasury securities and intergovernmental debts. The federal debt has doubled in less than a decade, largely due to pandemic-related borrowing and fiscal decisions by past administrations. Experts warn of a debt crisis if measures to reduce the deficit are not implemented. Foreign investors, who hold a significant share of U.S. Treasury securities, have shown decreased demand recently. Both Trump and Biden's administrations contributed to the rising debt through extensive public spending.
