US federal debt becoming ‘alarmingly unsustainable’ as Iran war fuels spending: analysts

Analysts are warning that the rapidly increasing US federal debt, which has reached $39 trillion, is becoming unsustainable and could threaten the global economy. Increased spending, potentially fueled by the conflict with Iran, is exacerbating the problem. Despite promises to eliminate the national debt, it is unclear if the Trump administration will curb borrowing. Experts note that other countries, like China, are actively reducing government leverage. The concern is that a heavily indebted US government might exploit its global power, creating negative consequences for the global economy, already impacted by the Middle East oil crisis. Ultimately, the burden of this debt will fall on the American people.
