    That’s really interesting. So what you’re saying is, Germany sold more to the states than they bought, but the states were able to “keep” the money by marking off that Germany had so much gold.

    And I guess now, Germany is concerned that the states may no longer honour that ledger.

      Germany can’t be more concerned than before. I expect that the publicity is a chip in the current trade negotiations that must be happening after Trump announced the tariffs.
