“[T]he big reason for the drop in demand for U.S. bonds is an informal, unorganized international boycott of such bonds. Why would any foreigner who lives in a country that has been targeted for damage or destruction by the U.S. government be interested by investing in bonds issued by the U.S. government? … We are seeing this informal-boycott phenomenon with respect to tourism. Foreigners are canceling their vacation plans to the United States, which might well have an adverse impact on U.S. tourism businesses. Moreover, foreigners who own vacation homes in the U.S. are selling them and staying away from our country. Why wouldn’t the same mindset apply to the purchase of U.S. bonds? This is what happens when a government abuses and mistreats people.” (04/23/25)
