admin that China holds the biggest share of treasury securities. This was with respect to the tariffs he imposed at that time. Then, the TPTB were concerned about China dumping all its treasuries... saying it would cripple the US because of how much trump spent on tax cuts for the rich. It would jack up U.S. interest rates on the debt, if I remember correctly. Anyway they DID say China held the largest amount of Treasury securities.
