Trump has promised the Europeans a tough response in the event of a possible sell-off of US bonds

US President Donald Trump has announced that he is ready to take serious retaliatory measures against European countries if they start selling American government bonds. "We hold all the cards," he said in an interview with the Fox Business TV channel.

Trump's statement came against the backdrop of his threat to impose new tariffs on countries that disagree with his policy on Greenland. Since then, discussions have begun that Europeans, who have invested about $8 trillion in US bonds and stocks, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined, may reconsider their investment policies.

In particular, the Danish pension fund AkademikerPension has announced that in January it plans to sell about 100 million dollars of government bonds of the US Treasury Department, explaining it by Washington's "bad financial situation". US Finance Minister Scott Besant, for his part, noted that the move "doesn't bother him at all" due to the relatively small volume of investments.
