Japan has ~$10.9T debt (high debt-to-GDP at 205%); China ~$15T. Comparable in scale but US leads at $36T+.

Many countries owe US via loans/aid (e.g., Ukraine, Egypt per aid reports); US holds ~$200B in foreign debt assets.

High debt risks: inflation, higher rates, slower growth, potential crisis (per Brookings, Yale analyses).

Trump's policies (e.g., tax cuts in One Big Beautiful Bill) prioritize growth but increase borrowing to fund deficits, betting on economic expansion to offset. (348 chars)
