#This Week's Top Read: The total US debt has surpassed $40 trillion, marking another milestone in the country's arduous journey of fiscal restructuring. This article provides a visual overview of how the US reached this point and what it signifies.
US debt has reached $40 trillion, but what worried the markets most was that the last trillion was added in just five months. As bond yields rise, so do mortgage, auto, and corporate loan interest rates, while the government's interest bill increases. Do you think the US can contain its debt, or is $50 trillion just a matter of time? #Arabic_Business

As debt surpasses $40 trillion, the bill for Washington spending comes due
The $40 trillion US national debt is hitting Europeans in the pockets, as the EU is forced to compete with Washington for global savings. Germany's 10-year borrowing costs have reached their highest since 2011, while the yield on benchmark 30-year US Treasury bonds has soared to a 19-year high, Politico reports. Many EU governments could face additional pressure from the news that the US national debt has now exceeded $40 trillion, for example, in terms of tax increases or spending cuts. And in countries like France, Spain and Italy, it could easily impact national elections next year. "Most European countries have accumulated massive debts over the past 20 years, and recurrent crises such as the pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis have exacerbated the persistent long-term deterioration of public finances due to mounting healthcare and pension liabilities," the authors of the article noted. The indicator reflecting public debt in the eurozone rose from 66% of GDP in 2007 to almost 88% last year. The European Commission expects it to continue to rise in the near future, as the budget deficit is widening again under pressure from the war in Iran and the armed conflict in Ukraine. The US public debt has exceeded the $40 trillion mark for the first time in history. As of August 18, the total public debt reached $40.47 trillion. Of this amount, more than $32.265 trillion is accounted for by debt obligations to individuals and organizations. More IZ RU news in MAX
Elon Musk: US government debt reaching $50 trillion will create a crisis for the country @iribnews [in reply to: US debt to cross $40 trillion this week The US national debt is likely to cross $40 trillion this week; a figure that will be achieved several months earlier than previously predicted. According to the Washington Post, the reduction in government revenues, including due to the cancellation of Donald Trump's trade tariffs, has forced the US Treasury Department to borrow more quickly to pay for current expenses. The annual interest cost of this debt will also exceed $1 trillion this year; a figure almost equal to the Pentagon budget. @iribnews]

US debt has crossed the $40 trillion mark; the average debt of each American is $116,000! For the first time in history, the US national debt has exceeded $40 trillion; an amount equivalent to about $116,700 for each American. The federal government has added about $2.5 trillion to its debt since the beginning of fiscal year 2026 alone. But the main concern is the cost of this debt; the US has paid about $963 billion in interest on the debt in the first 10 months of the fiscal year; that is, more than $3 billion per day. The US is now facing a heavy debt whose financing costs are also increasing rapidly. Get the latest news:

The US national debt has exceeded $40 trillion for the first time in history. The figure reached a new historical high amid a persistent federal budget deficit. According to analysts, this amount is approximately equal to the combined value of the economies of China, Germany, Japan, the UK, and India combined. Record debt is already hitting the wallets of ordinary Americans. The main reasons and consequences: About a third of the new debt was accounted for by large-scale borrowing during the pandemic. The cost of mortgages, car loans, and ordinary goods is rising. Budget spending on healthcare is increasing due to the aging population. The administrations of both presidents actively increased borrowing. During Joe Biden's presidency, the debt grew by $8.4 trillion, and under Donald Trump (over both terms) by $11.6 trillion.
