“Denmark’s investment in US Treasury bonds – like #Denmark itself – is irrelevant,” #US #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent told reporters at the #WEF in Davos, Switzerland, when asked how concerned he is about institutional investors in #Europe potentially pulling out of Treasuries.

“It is less than $100 million. They’ve been selling Treasuries. They have for years,” Bessent continued, adding, “I’m not concerned at all.”
