Germany is weighing the possibility of repatriating a massive portion of its gold reserves from the United States due to mounting concerns over Donald Trump’s policy unpredictability, The Telegraph reported, citing German media outlet Bild.
For decades, Berlin has stored around 1,200 tonnes of its gold, valued at approximately €113 billion (£96 billion), at the U.S. Federal Reserve vault in New York., the Telegraph added. This stockpile accounts for nearly 30 percent of Germany’s total gold reserves, making it the second-largest national reserve in the world after the United States.

Shame about the boating accident…
They have been trying in one form or another since the early Obama era. It seems we are having trouble delivering it.
Some say we don’t have it TO deliver.
Molon labe.
Patience, Germany, patience. Moving that gold will take time. Just filling out all the environmental impact forms will take decades.
And you can thank Al Gore for that.
I know this story is about gold in NY. But what happened to the topic of gold in Fort Knox? That just sort of disappeared a few weeks ago.
Go ahead, make yourself a tastier target to the Muslim invasion. Dumb@sses.
It’s their gold and they can do what they want with it.
If Germany wants their gold reserves back, let them have it. Just accidentally leak it when it’s moving and by what transportation.
Maybe the Germans could move their gold to the Merkers salt mine, located about 200 miles southwest of Berlin, like the Nazis did during WW II.
How big is 1,200 tonnes of gold?
That’s a solid, dense cube of shimmering wealth, 13 feet per side.
My ceiling is only 8 feet high, so it won’t fit in my living room. I suppose I’d have to reinforce the floor. That’s $118 billion USD of gold, so I’d have to beef up my home security system to deal with that, too.
Sorry, Germany, I rescind my offer to store your gold for you at Fort POF.
What Gold! Hunter was put in charge of it
Charge them a 1000 ton holding fee. Then give ‘em the balance, and tell em next time they need help, remember, they shoulda been better friends.
Take care of your own sh!t !
Maybe we should mull taking our military out of Germany, due to ourconcerns
After all those bastards started two world wars
Why are we storing gold for an Islamic nation?
Get it out of here or confiscate it to cover WWII debt...
Do you actually believe that?
Psst, the Easter bunny isnt REALLY coming.
The Germans really are morons aren’t they?
Like their stupid gold will be safer where?
