Will Venezuela fill Fort Knox with gold?

🪙 The country holds 161 tonnes of gold, equivalent to approximately 5.18 million troy ounces. At a price of $4,300 per ounce, this amounts to roughly $22 billion. These are the largest gold reserves in Latin America. ⛽️🛢 Venezuela also has the world’s largest proven oil reserves — 303 billion barrels (around 17% of global reserves). And now, all of this resource is coming under U.S. control.
