标题：Trump's economic challenge: $40tn debt, 6.7% mortgages and $5 diesel

正文：Almost two years since Donald Trump won election pledging to slash prices and fix the US’s public finances, his Iran war and tax cuts have delivered a different outcome: record-high debt, soaring fuel costs and punishing mortgage rates. Investors pushed yields on long-term US debt to a 19-year high amid alarm at the weight of public borrowing and the war’s inflationary fallout.Trump’s Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, rushed to soothe markets, unveiling a programme to “at least double” purchases of long-term debt and plans to tackle the deficit.
