A surge in gold shipments to the US has led to a shortage of bullion in London, as traders amass an $82bn stockpile in New York over fears of Trump administration tariffs.

The wait to withdraw bullion stored in the Bank of England’s vaults has risen from a few days to between four and eight weeks, according to people familiar with the process, as the central bank struggles to keep up with demand.

“The DoJ further said ‘no one disputes’ China’s goal of undermining US interests by collecting sensitive data about Americans through ‘ostensibly private companies subject to its control’ and by positioning assets stateside to be used at strategically advantageous moments.”

Categorically untrue. Many people doubt this.

Several globally recognized media outlets have reported this week that based on the U.S. release of the 2024 Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments there is proof that North Korea has bioweapons that they didn’t have before. I tracked down the actual report, which none of the news sources I saw actually linked to, but I still have no clue how they determined this and if its accurate or not.

What do you think?
