2 Maybe someone is actually planning to conduct an audit

3 Or maybe they're looking at the US's $40T deficit and worried Trump might confiscate it to pay for the shortfalls in Euro NATO support.

Have been reading a few interesting comments on this gold issue, in other blog sites.

Like
* What if Trump froze their Gold here, given the EU's massive support Islam and causes over Christians, Jews and the still free world.

* What if the EU got wind the US was moving their Gold around to make it look like the upcoming US Gold audit actually shows the US still physically has Gold?

* EU looking at the USA as no longer able to defend itself and protect their goal.

* The US is $40 Trillion in debt and word is, the EU and other nations will quit buying debt in 2027 as the US goes bankrupt.

etc...

One thing is for sure if any nation wanted to hide it faked its own amount of gold reserves. Simple, the plane or ship will sink in the deepest part of the Atlantic (America's Ocean ☺). Or there could be claims of hijacked and/or stolen during transit to any cover shortages.

6 Me saying Fort Knox is empty got censored above.
Maybe we can fill it back up by confiscating, er, nationalizing European gold?
I'm all for it, they owe us a ton of money in back payments for all the years they didn't pay for NATO.
Plus interest.

7 Maybe European countries just need the money with Trump and Bessent cleaning up the money laundering going on. Among other things.

8 The typical case is gold in the US is sold and gold In London or the owner’s country bought. The gold stays, ownership changes.
