Trump pledged to remove the national debt within eight years of office. Four years in, it has risen by $5 trillion. And it shows no signs of slowing down.



In brief

The US national debt just crossed $25 trillion for the first time in history.


The national debt is now just inches away from breaking the record for highest debt to GDP ratio in US history.


There are growing suggestions that the US should shirk its debt obligations to China.




The United States national debt has just crossed the $25 trillion threshold after adding $7 trillion in the last five years.

Since the start of the 2019/2020 fiscal year (beginning October 1, 2019), the US national debt has ballooned by more than 10% alone, climbing from $22.7 billion to its current value of $25 trillion, or $25,057,924,023,406.80 to be precise.




According to data from the US Treasury, the US national debt continues to grow at a pace of ~$1.2 million per minute, adding more than $1.7 billion per day. These record numbers are the result of a huge uptick in government spending, in an attempt to suppress the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and keep the economy running during these uncertain times.


This has sent the debt to GDP ratio skyrocketing in recent years. The US debt to GDP ratio now stands at 117%—a number just shy of the 118.9% record set just a year after World War II ended. The debt ceiling—defined as the maximum amount of debt the US is allowed to carry—has also been increased four times in the last half a decade, and may need to be increased again soon.





Although the majority of US debt is owned by Americans, including institutional investors, banks and the federal reserve, almost 30% is owned by foreign entities—including China and Japan, which hold more than $1 trillion in US debt each. This intergovernmental debt is set to greatly increase in the second quarter of 2020, as the US treasury prepares to borrow a further $3 trillion to fund the government's continued response to the pandemic.
