What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The United States reached a $40 trillion debt milestone in August, turning fiscal policy into a political issue. While analysts note risks remain, markets currently treat US debt as relatively safe, as the term premium shows no alarming increase. The Trump administration has not taken concrete steps to reduce deficits or curb rising borrowing costs, instead relying on a promise that US growth will resolve the fiscal situation.
