🚨 OMG! Europe just defied Trump – $9 billion in U.S. government bonds dumped!
In a shocking move, the European Union joined BRICS in the sale of U.S. government bonds, just days after President Trump warned them about it. 😳
Two major European pension funds led the way. The Danish fund sold bonds worth $100 million, but attention was drawn to the Swedish fund AP7, which dumped $8.8 billion. In total, nearly $9 billion of U.S. government debt was dumped. And here's the thing — it was not about making money. The funds stated that the decision was driven by politics, citing issues with the rule of law, political instability in the U.S., and foreign policy actions under Trump.
Historically, European pension funds viewed U.S. government bonds as risk-free and untouchable. But now? This taboo has been broken. Europe's step sends a loud geopolitical message: even trusted allies will not tolerate political pressure related to financial dominance.
The background conditions are tense: disagreements over Greenland, NATO-related issues, and growing European concern about what it perceives as U.S. coercive diplomacy. So far, de-dollarization has been a BRICS story — China, Russia, India, and others are reducing dollar risks. Now Europe is joining the exit, and it holds about $1.6 trillion in U.S. government debt, more than Japan.
These are not just numbers. This is about a decline in trust. The global status of the U.S. dollar has just been severely damaged, and the world is beginning to see that politics can now move markets faster than the economy. 💥
