Living in the EU, I'm skeptical any of this happens. Our leaders have been pretty reluctant to push back on anything so far and most of these assets are private anyway.

Wouldn't this be done by individual institutions and countries, not all once by "the EU?"

Evidence of that:

> Danish pension fund divesting US Treasuries

That's a tiny barely significant amount, though.

However the amount of US treasuries Denmark holds but privately and publicly did decrease by 20% or so over the last yea which I guess is something..

Fair point. Though I wonder if individual fund moves actually move the needle here or if it's mostly symbolic until it becomes a trend.

I believe that you might be a fellow European. If you happen to have 30 minutes to listen, I would love to hear your feedback.
