US debt is rising sharply and Trump "behaves as if nothing is happening"

TVI Notícias13 September 2026 at 21:54

US debt is rising rapidly, according to an analysis by Paulo Portas on the Global program.

The commentator warned about this economic situation at a time of tension between the US and Iran.

Paulo Portas argues that Donald Trump behaves as if nothing is happening, despite the significant growth in American public debt.

The analysis was broadcast on the Global program, where Portas commented on the state of the American economy in the context of the conflict between the United States and Iran.

Why this matters

The US debt situation is relevant for readers in Portugal as US economic decisions affect global markets and European financial stability. The Trump administration's indifference to the rising debt raises questions about the sustainability of US economic policies during geopolitical tensions.
