Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the US Treasury Department's announcement that the national debt exceeded $34 trillion, which is a record. At the same time, the US national debt reached this level several years earlier than predicted.

“Happy New Year!” Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel.

Previously, a number of experts expressed assumption that the United States will have to spend about a third of budget revenues to service such a large public debt.
