President Donald Trump has called for a physical audit of Fort Knox, the US gold depository that has not undergone a comprehensive independent audit since 1953. The announcement signals renewed political pressure around the transparency of America's official gold reserves, which are reported to hold roughly 4,580 metric tons — the largest national gold stockpile in the world.
The call comes at a moment when gold prices are near historic highs and public interest in sovereign reserve transparency has intensified alongside broader debates about monetary policy and dollar credibility. A formal audit would require coordination between the Treasury Department and an independent body, a process that has been politically discussed but never fully executed in over seven decades.
