Potential Impact of a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund

President Trump proposed the establishment of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund, aimed at investing in infrastructure and potentially acquiring assets like TikTok. Such funds are typically employed by smaller nations with abundant natural resources, a concept that raises eyebrows given the political implications. The secretary of the U.S. Treasury hinted that this fund could monetize U.S. assets, adding another layer of complexity to the federal government's role in the economy. Concerns arise about the nature of government ownership over platforms like TikTok, especially regarding future administrations potentially using them for surveillance.
