Germany Demands Gold Repatriation from US Amidst Trust Concerns
Amid concerns about US President Trump’s unpredictable policies, members of Germany’s CDU party are discussing repatriating a significant portion of Germany’s gold reserves currently stored in New York. This follows earlier calls for greater transparency and control over the gold, currently valued at over €100 million. While the Bundesbank has affirmed its trust in the New York Federal Reserve, the CDU’s discussions reflect a shift in sentiment regarding the geopolitical climate and the desire for greater control over Germany’s substantial gold holdings. This debate comes as Germany continues a previous initiative to return some of its gold reserves to domestic soil.
