2 They never pass up an opportunity to fok with the Orange Man. They're still in denial over their 1995 Schengen Agreement. The quicker we become Switzerland, the better.

3 Dutch yank 78 tons of gold from US, citing ‘geopolitical unrest’ — latest European country to pull precious metal

Earlier this year, France eliminated its remaining New York gold holdings, selling 129 metric tons that had been stored in the States, according to reports.

It used proceeds from the January sale to buy an equivalent amount of gold in Europe, and the precious pile now sits in Paris.

The Banque de France explicitly ruled out a political explanation for the move at the time.

As for the Netherlands, it holds about 612 metric tons of gold. Its latest reshuffling reduced the country’s New York stockpile by just over 78 metric tons and its Ottawa holdings by roughly 7 metric tons, according to the FT.

5 Maybe they can trade it to China for some of the US T-bonds they are holding. That way everybody wins. Chine continues it's divestment / gains more gold. And Holland shows they are a "good friend" of the US by helping hold up the t-bond rate and showing that they are still good investments (in some folks eyes)
