Why Is there IMF Bailout Talk on France and UK but not the US? \ stacker news ~econ

So, I was looking at the 10 year bond yield data. I don't have enough information in my head to put it into historical perspective, but just by comparing the present rates among the countries, it seemed the US is at a worse position than I thought it is given the recent noise from Europe. Notably,

The only European country with a higher yield is the UK.
Even France and Canada have lower yields than the US
Most shockingly, the US yield is higher than Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain...which are almost close to emerging market status

And yet, it seems there is more noise about IMF bailout for France (and there was, about southern Europe) than ever about the US. What gives? The global reserve currency status?

Or, am I getting something wrong, as a layman, as yields do not present the whole picture?

My understanding is that the recent spike was due to the idea that the Fed. Government might have to pay back all the tariff funds collected. The 30-yeild I think really spiked from that but it might have been the 10-year.

The US also its widely expensive can fully finance the debt right now. In theory they could raise taxes if they needed to fully address the situation where as with Europe that isnt really possible as they have already kinda maxed out taxing people and have moved to trying to tax the US based companies even more.
