Tensions escalate as Trump threatens large-scale retaliation if the EU liquidates U.S. assets?

Global financial markets are holding their breath before the stern warning from U.S. President $TRUMP , aimed directly at EU allies amid concerns of a wave of asset liquidation.

⚠️ According to sources, on 22/01/2026, Trump stated bluntly:

If European countries proceed with the liquidation of U.S. assets, especially Government Bonds.

They will face large-scale retaliation from Washington.

📉 This statement reflects the deep concern of the U.S. administration regarding the status of the USD and the liquidity of the public debt market.

The liquidation of U.S. bonds by major countries could drive yields to soar and trigger a financial crisis on Wall Street.

This could be the beginning of a new currency/trade war.

Will the retaliation that Trump refers to involve punitive tariffs or asset blocking measures? Investors should be cautious. Currency and $XAU $XAG should be particularly careful.
