U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Voltaire stated:
"The current U.S. public debt has reached $36.2 trillion (as of February 2025), and from a practical standpoint, it is no longer feasible to continue providing fiscal subsidies for European security. He emphasized that it is necessary to clearly distinguish the geopolitical strategic importance and resource investment of America's allies in Eastern Europe - including Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and other countries. These nations' strategic value and resource allocation need to be reassessed."
This statement echoes long-standing concerns within the United States about fiscal deficits. Data shows that the federal deficit for the 2024 fiscal year reached $1.833 trillion, an increase of 8% compared to the previous year, while the debt scale surged by 85.5% over the past decade. Although the dollar's dominant position temporarily alleviates repayment pressure, the continuously expanding debt gap is compelling policymakers to re-examine the sustainability of global strategic commitments.
