I'm curious to know the countries that US is indebted to

This is the list. The article is misleading. These are countries that are holding US bonds. It’s an investment and they collect interests on these from the US.

Hmm, so china is owing US this much and not the other way round.

US is also owing China money. I don't understand how these things work, both countries owe each other money

@op and Mod that moved this to frontpage, do you both understand the meaning of the words 'Debt held'?
English is disturbing op, every country listed own the purported amount listed as US treasury bond so he/she assumes they owe US money.
Those are country US is indebted to and not the other way round.

I am disappointed that Nigeria is not on that list .......😂

Debt is actually a good thing, but not the way Nigeria piles on debt to pay wages, eat and steal ........

I was confused too.




Because I listened to a US economist who was asked about the consequence of the United States owing China so much money.





The economist said it can be seen as China owning the United States economy.

Exactly - Whenever the US govt needs money they will sell what is called treasury bills. Treasury bills are papers that state if you loan us 100 dollars for 12 months, we will give you back $120 when it matures which means the agreed date (in 12 months)
And because people have strong faith in the US economy, they will always buy it as a haven for their money. It's a guaranteed investment because the US govt cannot default by not paying back.


China and Japan are the biggest buyers of these bills. The US is indebted to a lot of countries to the tune of 34 TRILLION DOLLARS

Let those keep up generalizing that USA owe China trillions. Américan trillions debt is owe within América which are domestic debt. I meant USA government owe it citizens that money by borrowing from their social security and others. Those who always pray for China to take over the world, let see how that happen soon. Many people will die of heart attack or be disappointed with this news.

The US has equally done alot of harm. No doubt they have underlining interests which have to be protected in all they do, but no country champions global peace like the US. Without America, religious extremism would have been a big plague. The world will never be safe in the hands of China and Russia.

The world started having problems when the US introduced DEMOCRACY and want to force it down the throat of others. 70% of the world problems are caused by the US and their allies!

It’s the other way round. This is a list of countries that the US owes money ( I.e countries that bought Us debt) not countries that owe the US.

@God1000, This is what happens when ignoramuses just do copy and paste articles from the internet and are unable to spot the errors in the articles because they themselves have no knowledge of the subject matter. It is the the US that owes these countries not the other way round.

You “own” a debt is different from “owe” a debt. It helps to understand English. The US owes the debt, these countries own the debt.

I was skeptical at first when I saw countries like Saudi and China. Those who are known to give loans. Thanks for the correction

You lied.

You need to read well. The US knows how to make themselves look good via their media and its most certainly difficult to find their diets on western media.

The US is in a $31+ trillion debt (internally and externally)

Re: 20 Countries That Owe US Money by Honestey: 12:32pm On Apr 09
HERE IS THE TRICK:

China borrow $800b plus dollars from US at a relatively cheap interest rate. Divides it into 3, use 2/3 for projects and lend 1/3 out to Nigeria and other poor African countries at exhorbitant interest rate which covers their own debt servicing of the entire $800b plus dollars to US .
In other words, this lending of money by those big countries is a means to;

A) Keep us in a state of modern slaves
B) Make the rich richer and the poor poorer
C) Control our leaders such that we no longer have complete Sovereignty (Reason why IMF keeps dishing out killer polices for our leaders to accept)
D) Gets easy access to our natural resources etc.

The worst thing is, you could borrow $1,b today and find the country needing to pay $13b within a decade. Alas! FG is about to receive another $1b plus loan soon.
See? We are in deep mess

If the OP had stopped to engage his brain or had any knowledge of the subject matter, he would have realized that something was amiss because a country like the Cayman Islands with a paltry GDP of $6B cannot be owning the US $260b. At current interest rates, the interest alone is more than twice their entire GDP. America will never let a country with a GDP of $6B owe then $260B!
