- U.S. national debt exceeded $40 trillion this week for the first time, making it more than twice as high as it was a decade ago.
- After reaching $38 trillion in October and $39 trillion in March, the milestone came in less than half a year, although the Congressional Budget Office had projected it for 2028 in 2023.
- During Donald Trump’s first term, debt rose from about $19.95 trillion to roughly $27.75 trillion, while it increased from about $27.75 trillion to approximately $36 trillion under Joe Biden.
- Since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, debt has risen by about $3.8 trillion, while experts attribute a significant share of growth since 2017 to the pandemic response and Reuters reports that about one-third occurred during roughly two pandemic years.
