U.S. debt may exceed $40 trillion several months in advance

According to the Washington Post, the U.S. debt may surpass the $40 trillion mark this week, several months earlier than previously predicted. Part of the reason is the overturning of Trump's tariff policy, which has resulted in a loss of billions of dollars in fiscal revenue.

Data from the Treasury Department shows that the national debt has reached $39.9 trillion and continues to grow. Budget analysts say that borrowing could reach the limit of $41.1 trillion by early next year, forcing lawmakers to take action.
