Trump Warns China: Dump U.S. Treasuries and Prepare for War?
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again ignited global debate with tough rhetoric aimed at China, warning that any move to dump U.S. Treasury holdings or challenge American power would have serious consequences. While China holds a significant amount of U.S. debt, economists argue that a large-scale selloff would hurt Beijing almost as much as Washington, destabilizing global markets and weakening China’s own financial position.
Trump’s warning fits his long-standing “America First” approach, where economic pressure and military strength are framed as tools of deterrence. Critics say such language escalates tensions unnecessarily, while supporters believe it signals strength and discourages aggression.
In reality, an outright conflict between the world’s two largest economies would be catastrophic, making diplomacy and economic interdependence far more likely than war. Still, sharp warnings like these remind the world how fragile U.S.–China relations remain—and how closely politics, finance, and security are #intertwined on the global stage.#TRUMP #ChinaEconomy
