“Whoever owns the gold makes the rules.”
This isn’t just a Trump soundbite — it’s an old geopolitical law quietly coming back into force.
Look at the numbers and the picture gets uncomfortable 👇
🇩🇪 Germany → ~40% of its gold held in U.S. custody
🇮🇹 Italy → ~50% stored overseas, mainly in U.S. vaults
🇳🇱 Netherlands → ~30% of sovereign gold held abroad
This goes far beyond storage logistics.
This is about trust, dependence, and power.
In global finance, there’s an unwritten rule:
“If the gold is not in your vault, it’s not entirely yours.”
Control over physical gold custody is leverage — just as powerful as the dollar system or military reach. Trump understands this. Gold isn’t just a hedge; it’s political gravity.
Whoever holds the keys to the vaults influences:
• Monetary credibility
• Sovereign independence
• Crisis-time decision making
Conclusion:
The world is being forced to redefine what “security” really means.
Will Europe accelerate gold repatriation to reclaim monetary sovereignty?
Or will the old rules remain — written by those who control the vaults?
What’s your take?
Is holding gold abroad a security risk or an economic necessity?
