"I think it's a very risky investment," Dalio said Monday on CNBC's " Squawk on the Street " when asked about Treasurys. "The risk is not measured in whether you pay back. Their only obligation is to give you money that they can print.

Another factor is potential sanctions against foreign countries for buying Treasurys, the widely followed investor said. "Other countries still are increasingly feeling worried about sanctions," Dalio said. "If you get them to sell the bonds, then it's a real problem.
