What's the REAL reason the Netherlands are removing their gold from the USA?

[purplepoppy]

The Netherlands are pulling 86 metric tonnes of gold out of the USA and moving it to London for safety. The official reason given is "due to increasing geopolitical unrest," and the gold is no longer safe under Trump."

I'm speculating that their spies have uncovered plans that Trump plans to seize it to build a statue of himself or to pay off his Epstein island victims to keep quiet.

But what do you think? What do the Netherlands know that we don't?

[BonzoInBitburg]

Germany, Italy, India, Poland, France, Austria, Turkey and Hungary have all either removed their gold from the US or have demanded it back. The real reason is they don't want their assets frozen in another country by an unstable leader.

They have zero concerns about Drumpf. They’re worried that democrats might gain some ground in the midterms. Everyone knows that the democrats are going full on pseudo-socialist and that they will tax everyone who has actually earned anything into poverty in order to enrich themselves in the name of giving handouts to criminals and deadbeats.
That gold won’t last a day under DSA control.
Drumpf just wants you to buy his crap. He doesn’t steal it and then call it “equality”.

[FreyaRed]

Lack of trust. They want their 4,3 cubic meters gold before everyone finds out Fort Knox is filled mostly with fake ingots. At some point US won't replace those questionable ingots with tungsten core inside.

The last ones bite the dogs.

[NoDecision]

I had no clue that other countries deposit their gold at Ft. Knox for safekeeping. But, they better take it out before Trump steals it to pay for his wars.

[DryGermanGuy]

Foreign gold reserves are stored in New York, from what I have read.

[NoDecision]

@DryGermanGuy You read too much. 😂

[DryGermanGuy]

Is that even possible? 🤷‍♂️

[Cice369]

The UK only has paper gold basically slips that say IOU what we don't have. The USD/Yen bond carry trade recently fucked the city of London so hard they're basically hemorrhaging. Right now other countries are more terrified of the Treasury Secretary Bessent than they are of the president. Especially a treasury sec that knows how to dismantle the deep state members like Soros because he was part of the Soros group that lead the sterling crash (Black Wednesday) so he knows how they work.

Kind of hard to pay off people related to epstein since Trump was the FBI informant used against Jeffrey for over twenty years.

It's absolutely batshit insane at how much one person can be hated by people who simply don't know wtf is going on.

[AviatorTom]

The United States actually houses gold for many countries, in Fort Knox Kentucky and in a large vault in New York City.

The Netherlands could be moving its gold from US to London just to keep it closer to home, plus London may be charging less than teh US to store it.

In simple terms, moving it to London makes economic sense. Politics may play a small part but economics rule.

[loveslongnails]

Why... because they're smart. They don't want to risk having the Mango Molester wake up one day and decide to nationalize everyone else's assets, no matter if they're personal or another country's.

It's also, in my opinion, a perfect legal, non-confrontational way to say to give the Trump administration an "economic no confidence vote". If this turns into a cascading effect, the value of the US petrodollar will suffer seriously as well.

[OneViewpoint]

They know that the USA is no longer a reliable political ally, trading partner, or harbor of economic stability. Kudos to the Netherlands for not waiting until it's too late.

[DryGermanGuy]

I'm pretty sure that this guy is involved... 🤨

[NoDecision]

Don't tell me, Goldfinger?

[DryGermanGuy]

No, Goldmember (Johan van der Smut), who is Dutch. Goldfinger is British.

[NathanDavis]

will probably try to take the gold from NATO countries... because "they don't want to bomb Iran" and they "they don't contribute to NATO"

[ohsheeT]

I think you said it all right there and if I was Netherlands I would do the same thing I would have already done it

[Abbycado]

They don’t trust us. Hell, I wouldn’t trust it. It’ll end up melted and in the Oval Office

[SueShe]

I have also removed my entire savings from Fort Knox just after the elections...

I am not telling you the kind of red tape I had to go through and endure to get my entire forture back 😉

[Abbycado]

Lmao, that’s gold Donald would melt too, in his fat mouth. XD

[ManOnFire]

They are being smart. Maybe they also can foresee America's downfall to come and don't want their assets tied up in it. Kudos to them.

[spartan55]

The rest of the world has hated us for longer than we think. It's now starting to show up in tangible ways.

[Anonymous]

I don't agree with your conspiracy theories. The Netherlands is just diversifying.

[exitseven]

It ism going to be funny when the muslims that run London decide to send it to Iran.

[MrChinaski]

To avoid Trump renaming it Americium...

... damn, there already is one of them.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I believe there's also an element called californium lol

[katiesmuff]

Sounds to me you already have the answer which does sound very reasonable.

[Alex-Snow]

I do not blame them at all. Why would any country trust the USA with the way Trump is treating the world.

[Kelly6]

@purplepoppy Because US easily seizes other countries gold.

As US is in financial crisis

[Shiprex]

They don't trust Trump and his cronies to not use it.

[Dargil]

Because we are lusting after Greenland, and sooner or later, we will have it.

[Likes2drive]

Maybe their economy is in bad shape and they need it now, especially with the situation with the oil, surprised we had their gold here anyway

[jamesgoldman]

They're testing if the US actually hasn't already disposed of it

[Pohjolan]

Part of it is just logistics. This way they can liquidate gold assets faster if there is a crisis.

[whosnumber_1]

American deficit and bonds coming due. Their dollar could be on a crash course.

[msc545]

This is the best way to keep Trump from stealing it.

[Staximus]

Why would the Netherlands not keep their gold in their own country?🤡🤡🤡

[Markella83]

Trump try to ripp them off like he does to everyone.

[Anonymous]

Exactly Trump will seize power in January 2029
He will invade Canada or Mexico. Or both.

He will replace old statues with his statues of himself

And Maga will cheer him on🙂🙂🙂

[jshm2]

France and Germany already have done that.

[SarahP080106]

Your theories are so stupid

[browsingthroughthe]

@purplepoppy IKEA built? Lol 💛 💙

[Anonymous]

Preparation for the next economic crash

[Anonymous]

Cruising with the lefties again?

[Paige2006]

Didn't know they were

[Anonymous]

Because USA is near it's end now

[Jersey2]

If true, much of the world is as well., including China who will have few buyers for their manufactured goods.

[MrChinaski]

It's always darkest before the dawn
