Trump obviously does not know the history here.
Kosovo was Serbian, but illegal immigration by Albanians aided by misguided US policy has enabled the Albanians to wrest control of it from Serbia.

Agree, not good. But I doubt Trump has spent more than 30 seconds on Kosovo. Once he does, all will be fine.

...or Bannon, or others. Most likely just another Deep State guy pushing something for Trump to sign, in order to make Trump look bad.

Trump doesn’t know that the takeover of Kosovo by the muslim Albanians was a Soros/muslim operation?

This STINKS.

He knows, but fixing mess the Neo-Cons have created is on the back burner until he deals with the CIA coup.

I hope so!

And also set him straight on Montenegro, which is Serbian and has no business in NATO! It will never be able to pay its bills to NATO anyway!

Trump was a successful businessman. You can’t really fault him for not being all that interested in foreign affairs. His priorities are clearly dealing with the Chicoms and Mexico. European tribal politics take a back seat to those two issues, IMO.
