"Biggest foreign creditor" and "biggest creditor" are worlds apart; it's not just about being more precise. More than two thirds of US debt is held domestically.

I think the OP wanted to make clear that domestic creditors far outweigh any foreign one so saying "biggest creditor" was a deceptive statement.

>>Do you want me to be more precise? Foreign creditor?

That's not being more precise. That's something entirely different.

foreign. That sense said just creditor without the 'foreign' bit.
