Trump’s New Message About Gold

Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump delivered a major boost to investors and retirees on Monday, confirming there will be no tariffs on gold imports—a move that sent a wave of relief through the financial markets after a week of uncertainty.

The announcement, made on Trump’s Truth Social account, came after confusion over reports that Customs and Border Protection had moved to reclassify popular gold bars—specifically 1-kilogram and 100-ounce sizes—under a code that could have slapped them with costly import tariffs.

Why It Matters for Americans

Had the tariffs gone through, the cost of bringing gold into the United States would have surged, potentially driving gold prices higher and shaking investor confidence. For retirees, savers, and anyone holding precious metals, that could have meant higher costs and market instability.

The White House confirmed that Trump will issue an executive order to make the administration’s stance crystal clear: gold will continue to enter the U.S. tariff-free, protecting both consumers and the investment community.

Trump’s Targeted Tariff Strategy

President Trump has never shied away from using tariffs to defend American workers and industries. His administration has applied tariffs to copper, steel, aluminum, automobiles, and imports from dozens of countries—measures that have protected U.S. manufacturing jobs and leveled the playing field against foreign competitors.

But when it comes to gold, Trump is drawing a line. Imposing tariffs on the precious metal, he explained, would hurt Americans more than it would help, disrupting supply chains and undermining the nation’s financial stability.

Market Confidence Restored

The decision reassures investors that America’s gold supply remains secure and that the Trump administration remains committed to economic strength, market stability, and protecting the retirement savings of millions of Americans.

With the 2024 election cycle in full swing, the move is another example of Trump’s promise to put America First—not only in trade deals and manufacturing, but also in the stability of the nation’s financial markets.
