US debt dynamics have deteriorated drastically over the last five years. This is due to growing budget deficits as a result of excessive government spending on the one hand and the significant rise in capital market interest rates since 2022 on the other. As a result, the US's annual interest costs now exceed USD 1 trillion. This means interest payments of USD 3 billion - every day!
Particularly critical: US interest payments will even exceed US defense spending for the first time in 2024 - a dangerous and unsustainable development from a strategic perspective. An unchecked continuation of the current course, reinforced by unsound policies under “Trump 2.0”, could seriously jeopardize the long-term stability of the US.
The growing risks of US debt dynamics have been analyzed in detail by the FERI Cognitive Finance Institute - and explicitly highlighted in the new “Big Picture: 2025”. The corresponding analysis is available in German in the download area on this page.
