The U.S. empire is entering its final inning, warns Willem Middelkoop, CEO of the Commodity Discovery Fund and author of The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame. In this interview with Daniela Cambone, Middelkoop highlights President Donald Trump’s controversial proposals—such as taking over the Panama Canal—as indicators of a desperate phase in American history. “When you reach the end of an empire, that’s what you’re going to see,” he explains. Middelkoop also forecasts a sharp rise in gold prices, suggesting it could exceed $4,000 per ounce, and shares his perspective on Trump’s likely economic approach: delaying crises by printing more money.
