U.S. debt stands at $36 trillion , or more than 120% of annual economic output.

Some of Trump 's advisers have espoused unorthodox ideas in recent months , including forcing foreign governments to swap Treasuries for cheaper bonds in order to reduce interest payments.

The outcome of those efforts to close the deficit remains unclear, some investors and economists say.

Debt held by the public is expected to climb to $52 trillion by 2035 from $30 trillion this year .

But worries about further forced debt swaps could result in selling pressure on Treasuries , driving yields higher.

Trump has said the residency plan has potential to raise trillions of dollars and help pay off U.S. debt.
