Asked by a reporter onboard Air Force One this week what the Musk-led non-official Department of Government Efficiency is looking to cut at the Department of Defense, Trump changed the subject to say:“We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that?”
Trump on DOGE: We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But we’re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.Then, when Trump was asked if DOGE was looking to “eliminate more national security positions,” he again dodged the question:“We’ll see what happens. But one of the things we do want to look at.
When asked where the gold could have gone, Trump replied: “If the gold isn’t there, we’re going to be very upset.”The President acting like Nic Cage in National Treasure is entertaining but I don't get the end game here. Do they actually think someone stole gold out of Fort Knox? And if so, couldn't you just ask someone who works there to take a look for you?
you guys think trump would do a big reveal of fort knox being totally empty as a prank and blame it on biden?Trump says he & Elon Musk will check the gold stored at Fort Knox in Kentucky to ensure it is present, saying, "If the gold isn't there, we're going to be very upset." So are they going to count the bars? Are they going to find some random ones to bite on to make sure they aren't fake? Wackos, both.The mines. We’re going to go to the mines. Of Moria.

Mali to Negotiate with Barrick Gold Over Seized Gold and Tax DisputeMali is set to resume negotiations with Barrick Gold on Tuesday to resolve a growing dispute concerning alleged unpaid taxes and the government's seizure of nearly 3 metric tons of gold valued at $250 million. The negotiations will focus on Barrick's compliance with Mali's new mining code, which mandates increased state revenue share and eliminates tax exemptions for mining companies. The dispute stems from Mali's demand for $500 million in unpaid taxes from Barrick, leading to the gold seizure and an arrest warrant issued against Barrick's CEO. Meanwhile, Barrick has temporarily halted its mining operations in Mali, potentially impacting its earnings by 11% in 2025, according to Jefferies analysts.
