Moody's Warns of Increased US Fiscal Risks Following Trump Election

The election of Donald Trump and potential Republican control of Congress could lead to significant fiscal policy changes and increased debt.

Moody's has flagged a higher risk to U.S. fiscal health following Donald Trump's election as president.
U.S. budget deficits and government debt are projected to rise significantly, with Trump's policies potentially exacerbating these trends.
Republicans are poised to control both chambers of Congress, which may accelerate the implementation of Trump's economic agenda.
Moody's has maintained a top credit rating for the U.S. but shifted its outlook from 'stable' to 'negative' last year.
Potential policy shifts in tax, trade, immigration, and climate could have major impacts on industries like manufacturing and technology.
