    According to the DNB this move has nothing to do with the political climate in the US i.e. Donald Trump.

    But I think most Dutchies share in my relive that the bulk of our national gold reserves are now stored in places that are actually safe from foreign interference.

    This is a nothing burger with Fritessaus (a creamy mayo like sauce with mustard that is a Dutch condiment.)

    They didn’t even move most of the gold. They sold their US holdings and bought UK holdings. And the reason probably has more to do with the Euro’s rearming for potential war with Russia than anything else. As much as I don’t like the orange madman this isn’t like the tariff situation with Canada.

    And “going Dutch” is a term for a reason.
