President Donald Trump says he wants to open Fort Knox and personally confirm that the United States’ gold reserve is still stored there, after public controversy over the bullion last year. In remarks reported by multiple outlets, Trump said he would like to “knock on the door” of the Fort Knox facility, describing it as a heavily secured depository, and check whether any gold is present. He also said he wants to ensure that the reported stockpile—often cited in public reporting as about $700 billion—has not been stolen or otherwise moved. The statements come amid lingering debate about the status and security of the national bullion holdings. Both sources report Trump’s interest in a direct physical verification, framed as a personal step to address questions that surfaced during the prior uproar. No additional details are provided in the cited reports about whether any inspection is planned, who would conduct it, or what official process would be involved.
