🚨OMG! This is Unbelievable: After BRICS, EU Too Dump US Treasuries worth $9 Billion Despite Trump Warning!
Just days after Trump warned the European Union against selling US Treasury bonds, Europe has done exactly that, sending a sharp geopolitical message to Trump.
Two major European pension funds have begun actively dumping US Treasuries. A Danish pension fund sold around $100 million, while Sweden’s government-backed pension fund AP7 sold a massive $8.8 billion worth of US Treasury holdings. In total, nearly $8.9 billion has been offloaded.
What makes this move historic is the reason. These funds have clearly stated that this decision is not economic, but political. They cited concerns over rule of law, political instability, and US foreign policy behavior under President Donald Trump. Even if the dollar remains profitable, they no longer see US assets as politically safe.
This is a major break from tradition. European pension funds have always treated US Treasuries as risk-free, neutral, and long-term safe assets. Dumping them for political reasons breaks a decades-old taboo.
The backdrop includes tensions over Greenland, NATO-related statements, and growing European unease over what it sees as US coercive diplomacy and disregard for European sovereignty.
Until now, de-dollarisation was largely associated with BRICS nations like China and Russia. Europe’s entry changes everything. As a bloc, the EU holds roughly $1.6 trillion in US debt, more than Japan.
This is not just about billions sold, it is about trust being lost. Europe has drawn a red line, signaling that even allies will not tolerate political pressure tied to financial dominance. The global standing of the US dollar has taken another visible hit.
