Why Was the U.S. Silver Stockpile Raided by DOD?
In 2021, the U.S. imported 6,500 metric tons of silver.
The United States is 79% import-reliant for its silver needs. From 2017 to 2020, Mexico provided 47% of these imports, followed by 23% from Canada, 4% from Chile, 4% from Poland (and the remaining 22%, we can assume Russia was the heavy importer among this opaque other 22%).
