US debt surge and rising rates spark warnings of lasting burden

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
The US national debt has surged to a record $39 trillion, with daily compounding of $7.39 billion and annual interest costs exceeding $1 trillion. Concurrently, 30-year Treasury yields hit a 17-year high of 5.19%, increasing borrowing costs for mortgages and business loans. Experts warn that reliance on foreign capital poses risks; falling demand for Treasurys could further drive up rates and weaken the dollar.
