Could This Be the Biggest Gold Announcement in Decades?
Could This Be the Biggest Gold Announcement in Decades?
Andy Schectman & Michelle Makori: 6-16-2026
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO, Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to discuss a theory that is gaining traction among gold investors ahead of July 4th: could the Trump administration unveil a major gold-related initiative that reshapes the global monetary system?
Schectman explains why he believes there is a growing possibility that gold-backed U.S. Treasury instruments could emerge as part of a broader strategy to address America’s debt burden, restore manufacturing competitiveness, and navigate the accelerating shift toward a multipolar financial system.
The conversation explores the implications of Kevin Warsh’s appointment as Fed Chair, the hiring of Project 2025 contributor Paul Winfree, the passage of the GENIUS Act, China’s continued gold accumulation, the rollout of mBridge, and the growing challenge to the dollar-centric financial order.
