Well, you know what Trump is good for: China will be left holding the bag. Would you rather be the country that owes the trillion dollars or waiting to be paid the trillion?
 
Very good drop..

Japan commands the top spot among foreign creditors with $1.1 trillion, about 3% of total U.S. debt owed by the U.S. government. China holds the number two position with $859.4 billion of U.S. Treasurys, about 2.6% of the total U.S. debt.4


Japanese-owned debt doesn't receive nearly as much negative attention as Chinese-owned debt because Japan is seen as a friendlier nation and the Japanese economy hasn't grown as fast year after year as China's.5


Other countries that hold the most U.S. debt include the U.K. with $668.3 billion, Belgium with $331.1 billion in debt securities, and Luxembourg, slightly behind Belgium with $318.2 billion of the United States' debt.
