Germany worries that Donald Trump could "steal" its gold reserves in New York. The Federal Reserve Bank of Germany (Bundesbank) has called for the repatriation of over 1,236 tonnes of gold stored in the United States. The gold, which constitutes about a third of Germany’s total reserves, is considered too risky to keep in the US under the current administration. Economists and officials, including former Bundesbank research chief Emanuel Mönch and German tax association head Michael Jäger, warn that diplomatic tensions and Trump’s unpredictable stance could block access to the vaults. They argue that moving the gold home would safeguard Berlin’s strategic independence and protect its economic interests amid growing trans‑Atlantic uncertainty. The move would make Germany the country with the second‑largest gold reserve in the world, after the United States. The call comes as Germany’s concerns over US involvement in Greenland and broader geopolitical instability rise.
