Moody's downgrades US credit rating to 'Aa1' citing rising federal debt.

A triple-A rating signifies a country's highest possible credit reliability.

A lower credit rating means countries are more likely to default on their sovereign debt.

Fitch Ratings downgraded the US in 2023 and S&P Global Ratings did so in 2011 .
