2024年，美国政府债务利息支付首次超过1万亿美元，标志着全球经济重心的重大转变。与此同时，美国军费开支接近1万亿美元大关，而经济却显示出惊人韧性。
在当今动荡的世界中，全球经济和地缘政治的转变可以用一个数字概括：1万亿。2024年将成为历史上首次一个国家政府的债务利息支付超过1万亿美元的一年，根据圣路易斯联邦储备银行的数据。
唐纳德·特朗普总统在其第二任期的第一年下令对七个国家进行军事打击，他曾抱怨诺贝尔和平奖委员会忽略了他。去年，美国军费开支估计在8320亿美元至9620亿美元之间。除非出现重大意外，美国将成为有史以来第一个年度军费开支达到1万亿美元的国家——可能在今年或明年。
一些观察人士可能对这些数字耸耸肩，指出美国经济的惊人韧性。去年第三季度，年化国内生产总值（GDP）增长达到4.3%，超过大多数其他发达经济体，这些经济体在绝对规模上要小得多。
尽管世界关注美国的军事冒险主义，但贸易、研发和债务方面的万亿美元级转变正在重塑全球经济和地缘政治。这些数字突显了美国在财政和国防方面的巨大压力，同时其经济增长超出预期。
