Hovenier: If Kosovo does not respond to Trump’s gas offer, the US may lose interest in it

Former US Ambassador to Kosovo, Jeff Hovenier, has stated that President Donald Trump’s administration has proven to be transactional in its approach towards international partners.

In an interview with Rubikon, which will be broadcast after the end of the central news edition on Klan Kosova, he said that the Trump administration is ready to make agreements with parties that show interest, while the lack of readiness for cooperation could affect the level of American engagement.

“The Trump administration has proven to be transactional. If you are willing to make a deal, do it; if not, you are not interested. If Kosovo does not respond to the Trump administration’s offer for LNG, then the Trump administration will lose even more interest in Kosovo, and any action regarding energy dialogue and partnership strengthens Kosovo as a partner. Any action contrary to this takes the potential elsewhere,” Hovenier declared.
