U.S. brought back $100 million of gold from Venezuela, Interior Secretary Burgum says

The Trump administration repatriated $100 million of Venezuelan gold for U.S. refiners, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. Burgum visited Venezuela earlier this month with oil and mining executives, signaling a coordinated outreach to energy and mining players; the move is a modest supply development for U.S. refiners and highlights geopolitical/sanctions dynamics rather than a market-moving shock.
