Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults
Shift in relations and unpredictability of Donald Trump make it ‘risky to store so much gold in the US’, say experts
‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults
Germany is facing calls to withdraw its billions of euros’ worth of gold from US vaults, spurred on by the shift in transatlantic relations and the unpredictability of Donald Trump.
Germany holds the world’s second biggest national gold reserves after the US, of which approximately €164bn (£122bn) worth – 1,236 tonnes – is stored in New York.
Emanuel Mönch, a leading economist and former head of research at Germany’s federal bank, the Bundesbank, called for the gold to be brought home, saying it was too “risky” for it to be kept in the US under the current administration.

Thank you very much, Larry. I’m going to start in French, and then I’ll switch back to English.

Thank you, Larry. It is both a pleasure, and a duty, to be with you tonight in this pivotal moment that Canada and the world going through.
Today I will talk about a rupture in the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction and the beginning of a harsh reality, where geopolitics, where the large, main power, geopolitics, is submitted to no limits, no constraints.

Bill, from an appreciative follower, Please get on rumble or other platform, so we can follow you more easily. You tube’s cutting you off is really objectionable and makes it more difficult for us to follow your wisdom.

in fairness Bill, this is gold acquired with US money.
how did germany obtain all this gold, since it was totally destroyed after world war II ??
basically took US for a ride with all that money being given to them. instead of investing it in US treasuries they played “smarty” and bought gold. germany holds less than 100 billions in US treasuries, even isreal has more and that is a small economy by comparison.
further, germany has already gotten from the US even more gold already back to germany during clinton years.
america has been played. If trump is really as tough as he claims to be, he should pressure them to sell their gold back to the US (where they got it from in the first place, with US dollars given to them that is) and invest in US treasuries, it is only fair.
