The USA doesn't hide any more that they have owed to Saudi Arabia $120 billion

For the first time for the last 40 years of the USA have disclosed the sum of the debt to Saudi Arabia. As it has appeared, the USA as of March of the current year owed Saudi Arabia $116,8 billion. At the beginning of a year the debt reached $120 billion, but by March has been reduced. The debt of the USA to Saudi Arabia is presented by the state bonds. It is not the largest sum of debt of the USA to the third countries. Other large holders of the American state bonds are China and Japan, and each of this countries of USA is owed by more than $1 trillion.

Most likely, the operating administration has decided to open information on the size of a debt to Saudi Arabia, on the one hand, to show that U.S. authorities led by the leaving Obama aren't afraid of any blackmail, and with another – to show to the whole world that actually the debt of the USA to Saudis isn't so big as debt to China or Japan.

However, most likely, the high-ranking Saudi officials own in the USA not only the state bonds, but also other assets. Sale by Saudi Arabia even of small part of a debt of the USA can bring down dollar and not only because the sum essential but because similar actions can provoke to similar acts of other larger creditors. In this case not to avoid serious weakening of dollar rate to world currencies, and no U.S. Fed with the interest rate will help any more.

The USA has refused disclosure of information on the size of the debt of Saudi Arabia 40 years ago. It has been made at the request of the authorities of the kingdom in 1973, otherwise Saudi Arabia threatened to refuse to sell oil to the United States and to buy from them the weapon. Why the USA has suddenly revised the decision?

Most likely, it can be connected with the fact that Saudi Arabia at which the relations with the USA this year have deteriorated, has threatened America to sell assets for $750 billion. And the American position on Syria which, from the point of view of Saudi Arabia, is insufficiently consecutive concerning the president of Syria Bashar al-Assad became the reason of deterioration in the relations. And also the law adopted recently by the Congress of the USA which allows to impose sanctions against the high-ranking officials of Saudi Arabia if their slightest participation in acts of terrorism, unprecedented on scale, in the USA only is established on September 11, 2001.
