What is a US debt default?

At its most basic level, a default is when a person or an entity cannot repay a debt on time. For instance, when a person can’t make a payment on a mortgage or a car loan.
When a country does this, it’s known as a sovereign default. This is when the country cannot repay its debt, which typically takes the form of bonds.
So if the US were to default, it would essentially stop paying the money it owed US Treasury bond holders.
