Staggering amount of US treasuries dumped as Trump salivates over Greenland [View all]

A Danish pension fund is selling off its US treasuries in the wake of President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to annex its sovereign territory, Greenland.

The fund, known as AkademikerPension, said on Tuesday that it was selling off assets worth $100 million by the end of this month.

Its investment director, Anders Schelde, insisted that the decision was due to “poor US government finances,” and had nothing to do with Trump’s bellicose threats in recent weeks, which have led several European nations to move troops to the island and conduct military exercises in preparation for a US invasion.

Not directly, but it still ain't good for any of us. paleotn Jan 20 #15

It makes our national debt more expensive because Treasury has to pay higher yields IronLionZion Jan 20 #30
