America’s national debt has crossed a staggering milestone: $40 trillion. Treasury Department data shows total U.S. public debt reached roughly $40.047 trillion, including about $32.266 trillion held by the public and $7.782 trillion in intragovernmental debt. The debt has more than doubled since January 2017, as Washington faces persistent budget deficits, rising interest costs and growing fiscal pressure. With investors demanding higher returns on U.S. government bonds, questions are intensifying over how long America can sustain borrowing at the current pace.
