How the U.S.-Europe Rift Got Balkanized
The article analyzes escalating transatlantic tensions specifically in the Balkans, where Europe has taken steps to stifle American involvement. Key events include the first-ever failure of the U.S. and Europe to agree on the next international envoy to Bosnia and Herzegovina, with European diplomats rejecting a U.S.-backed Italian candidate in favor of a French official. The EU has also opposed a U.S.-backed LNG pipeline project in Bosnia, warning it could jeopardize EU membership and aid. Additionally, European institutions coordinated to block a luxury hotel project in Serbia led by Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and U.S. Special Envoy for Peace, forcing his withdrawal. The article argues these actions represent a coordinated European effort to undermine U.S. policy and investment in the region, risking a serious diplomatic row.
