  • The triple-A ratings of the World Bank and other top multilateral lenders would be at risk if the United States withdraws support for them following a review ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump, credit rating agency Moody's warned.

Moody's has warned that the United States could lose its AAA credit rating if former President Donald Trump, who has suggested he might withdraw support from the World Bank, wins the 2024 presidential election. This statement comes in light of Trump's previous administration's actions, where he threatened to pull out of international organizations like the World Health Organization and UNESCO. Moody's highlighted that such a move could undermine the U.S.'s role in global financial governance, potentially leading to economic and geopolitical instability. The rating agency emphasized that the stability and predictability of U.S. policy are crucial for maintaining its top-tier credit status.
