Episode Details

The United States debt crisis is starting to accelerate. Jay breaks down how energy disruptions tied to the Strait of Hormuz could force countries like the UAE and Kuwait to sell U.S. Treasuries for cash, driving yields higher and making borrowing more expensive across the American economy. He explains why emergency dollar swap lines may become Washington’s preferred pressure valve, how they work, and why the first requests for support could signal a much larger financial problem ahead.
