100 moves of this size (~$10B) would make up 0.1% of foreign-held US treasuries (~$8.5T).

I'd say each move like this increases the likelihood of the next one happening, and typically, nobody wants to be the last one holding the bag.
And the big European nations own ~ 23% of US debt. This is not a one-sided contest. Oddly, it does feel like trump is what europe needed to wake up from its slumber. With new AI / startup funding, the rebuild of their military, and opening up to china this could be the making of the EU into a true superpower. About time.

Edit: percentage down from 30% clarify debt
