Danish Pension Fund Dumps $100M in U.S. Treasuries Citing Weak U.S. Finances Amid Trump Greenland Tariff Threats
AkademikerPension, a Danish pension fund for academics, said it will sell its roughly $100 million U.S. Treasury portfolio by the end of the month, citing "poor U.S. government finances" and will instead hold U.S. dollars and short‑duration debt; the fund said President Trump’s Greenland dispute “didn’t make it more difficult” to take the decision. The sale comes amid an escalating U.S.–European row over Mr. Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland—by purchase, coercion, or even military means—and his threatened tariffs on several allies, which has provoked Nordic and EU condemnation, large protests, diplomatic talks and legislative moves in Washington, even as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplayed the idea of a broader Treasury selloff.
