Germany also needs to pull all gold. We have 1236t there.

With the way the US is going that might just end up in a gold trump statue instead

But that statue would rotate to face the sun!

If Turkmenistan can have it, why not the US?

(Though it no longer rotates.)

They had better act fast, before an executive order prevents that from ever happening.

US also has gold reserves and investments in Germany. They can be seized.

There was that whole spiel of Elon and Trump going to Fort Knox to see if the gold was still there, What ever happened to that?

Would be good to not depend on the US that much any longer, since they have proven to be such an unreliable "partner". Even in a non-Trump future one cannot rely upon some future election not resulting in some similar disaster. Better to pull out, before some hothead gets weird ideas about that gold.

Maybe the fact that US soldiers and military bases exist inside Germany's borders is slightly more important than where the gold is. First regain your sovereignty, I'd say.

Yes, close Ramstein and close Landstuhl, which were used for every US war in the Middle East in the last 30 years.

Nothing wrong with going for the low hanging fruit first.

The USA is threatening to pull out of NATO anyway, so those might go away.

I am guessing that these bases are one of the last things to go. Would be a major diplomatic incident. But then again Trump creates those for breakfast, so who knows when we finally have had enough.
