ton for ton the US top export is CO², and it's largest import is O², or was, if it has slipped then that is the main reason behind the export of ag, as all of it is tied to actual industrial capacity

I doubt the veracity of this article. All previous metal exports from the US, including and not limited to gold, came third in exports as of mid-year.

edit: A better source that uses Census BEA data: https://ustradesignals.com/statistics/exports-by-industry

and says the same thing.

The article that you posted seems to be LLM slop with no references to their claims and the article in the post references data from bea.gov so :shrug:

All of these links are from publications I've never heard of, and have a hard time independently verifying their credibility.

For instance, TradeInt advertises it is trusted by Samsung, but I can't find any record of Samsung utilizing TradeInt for anything. TradeInt advertises a 5-star rating on platforms like Product Hunt (YC S14), yet the person who created the listing created their account when TradeInt launched and has no followers or other activity since 2024.

They all appear to be blog spam, from my perspective.

Anyone (or any AI) can publish anything to confirm any viewpoint. What makes those links worth sharing?

All the gold was stolen from Africa or South America by the Europeans no?

The biggest gold mines by far are in the US, Russia, and other former Soviet republics.

Gold is tiny compared to oil and other energy exports. I would more watch for drop in energy exports, and how US is screwing its partners right now!
