US President Donald Trump has expressed interest in inspecting the gold reserves stored at Fort Knox, a US military base in Kentucky. During a conversation with reporters on Air Force One, Trump stated that he intends to “go into Fort Knox” to verify the presence and quantity of the gold.
The comment was met with ridicule from critics on social media, who questioned Trump’s motives for making such a request. The remarks also appeared to deflect attention from a question about potential cuts to national security positions within the Department of Defense.
Despite the criticism, Trump reiterated his intention to inspect Fort Knox, stating that if any discrepancies are found, the US government will be “very upset.” The exact nature and purpose of the inspection remain unclear, but it is not clear how the public can access information about the gold reserves at Fort Knox.
