New U.S. Law Calls for Comprehensive Audit of Fort Knox Gold Reserves Amid Rising Political Debate
Waleed Farouk Amid the escalating public feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, discussions are growing about the future of the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), especially following its pledge to review the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox. While Congress does not appear to have abandoned the idea of an audit, a new move has emerged to enhance transparency. On Friday, four members of Congress introduced a new bill titled the "Gold Reserve Transparency Act" (H.R. 3795), calling for the first comprehensive audit of America's gold reserves in decades. This comes at a time when concerns are mounting over the impact of excessive government spending on the financial credibility of the United States. Details of the Bill: Conduct a thorough and complete examination of all U.S. gold holdings. Perform a comprehensive review of all transactions involving the gold over the past 50 years, including sales, purchases, pledges, leases, and swaps. Representative Thomas Massie, one of the bill's sponsors, said: 'Americans deserve transparency and accountability from the institutions that back their currency.' Stefan Gleason, CEO of Money Metals and Honorary Chairman of the Sound Money Defense League, noted that the U.S. Treasury has lost important records and allowed gold vaults to be opened and resealed without new audits, calling this 'unacceptable negligence' that would never be tolerated in the private sector. Gold: The Safe Haven Amid Dollar Doubts The bill arrives at a time when investors and central banks are increasingly turning to gold as a reliable monetary asset free of geopolitical risks or third-party exposure, amid a gradual move away from the U.S. dollar. Jp Cortez, Executive Director of the Sound Money Defense League, stated that the bill would help restore confidence in the U.S. dollar, especially after moves by some countries, such as Germany, to repatriate their gold reserves stored in the United States. Cortez emphasized that safeguarding the U.S. Treasury's gold is a 'national security issue,' adding that what the country needs is a real, thorough audit — not the 'public relations stunt' previously proposed by Elon Musk earlier this year. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Luxor Governor Receives US Senator Tim Sheehy to Discuss Strengthening Cooperation
Taarek Refaat Abdel Motaleb Amara, Governor of Luxor received Senator Tim Sheehy, a member of the US Congress, as part of his visit to Egypt and the accompanying high-level delegation. The meeting witnessed an open dialogue between the two sides, addressing ways to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. The Senator began his speech by expressing his happiness at being in Luxor for the second time after 22 years. He expressed his admiration for the positive changes taking place in the city and his amazement at ancient Egyptian civilization, emphasizing that Egypt is a country with a rich civilization dating back thousands of years. Sheehy added that Egypt is an important and ally in the Middle East region, and that it has a promising economic future over the next five years. He expressed his hope for strengthening American partnerships in Egypt and praised the country's ongoing comprehensive development efforts, particularly in infrastructure modernization and the renewable energy sector. On his part, the Governor of Luxor welcomed the US Senator and explained the governorate's economy, which is based on the cultural tourism sector, followed by agriculture and industry. He emphasized that tourist bookings have increased this year compared to last year, and that the booking rate for the upcoming tourist season is very promising and exceeds previous years, despite global events. The governor added that despite the hot June weather approaching, the continued growth of tourism in Luxor has not been affected. He attributed this to the stability and security Egypt enjoys thanks to the wisdom of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who assumed the presidency 10 years ago. He also praised US support for the country. The US Ambassador to Cairo attended the inauguration of the new drinking water station in the village of El-Hanady, east of Esna, south of Luxor. This station will serve approximately 10 villages by 2024. The station was funded by the US Agency for International Development. At the end of the meeting, the US Senator wished Egypt continued prosperity and promised to visit Luxor again with his family. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
