March 19, Fineko/abc.az. As of March 17, the total debt of the U.S. federal government reached $39.016 trillion, having increased more than by $24 billion per day.

ABC.AZ reports that debt growth is accelerating due to spending on social programs, debt servicing, and interest payments.

Experts warn that if the current dynamics continue, the national debt could reach 140% of GDP by the beginning of the next decade, which could cause a domino effect on global markets and increase the cost of borrowing for other countries.
