There is no credible evidence that Germany and Italy are demanding their gold back from U.S. Vaults due to distrust of the United States, nor that the White House is in panic over such a situation.
False
The White House is in full-blown panic mode. Germany and Italy want their gold back from the U.S. federal vaults in Manhattan that has been stored there since World War II because they no longer trust the United States. More countries might follow suit. Trump is destroying this country, and our global partners are losing trust in America.

Verified July 12, 2025Key Evidence
There are no credible reports or official statements confirming that Germany or Italy are demanding their gold back due to distrust of the U.S., nor that the White House is panicking over such demands. Historical and recent data show gold repatriation efforts are planned and not driven by sudden distrust (no sources found in search results).
The reporting
What the Evidence Shows
The claim can be broken down into several components: 1) Germany and Italy want their gold back from U.S. Federal vaults in Manhattan where it has been stored since World War II; 2) this demand is motivated by a loss of trust in the United States; 3) more countries might follow suit; 4) the White House is in full-blown panic mode; and 5) this situation is linked to President Trump destroying the country and eroding global trust.
Regarding the first component, while it is true that some countries, including Germany, have repatriated portions of their gold reserves from foreign vaults (including the U.S.) in recent years, these actions have been planned over long periods and are not sudden or driven by distrust. Italy has not made any public demands for gold repatriation linked to distrust. There is no evidence that these reserves have been stored since World War II without change; gold holdings and storage arrangements have evolved over decades.
The claim that these actions are due to a loss of trust in the United States lacks credible support. No official statements from Germany, Italy, or other countries indicate distrust as a reason for gold repatriation. Furthermore, there is no indication from reliable sources that the White House is in panic mode over this issue.
The assertion that more countries might follow suit is speculative and unsupported by current evidence. Finally, linking these unsubstantiated claims to President Trump 'destroying this country' and causing global partners to lose trust is an opinion rather than a verifiable fact.
The search results provided do not contain any information supporting these claims about gold repatriation or diplomatic panic related to it. They mostly cover historical World War II events unrelated to current gold reserves or international trust issues.
Therefore, the claim is false as it presents unsubstantiated assertions without credible evidence and mixes opinion with fact.
