Once again showcasing the strategic success of the Trump Doctrine: focusing on economic security as a tool for national security – President Vučić of Serbia and Prime Minister Hoti of Kosovo joined President Trump in the oval office today to sign a joint statement of economic cooperation between the two nations. Truly a remarkable accomplishment.
.
[White House] – Statement by the President Regarding Economic Normalization between Serbia and Kosovo
Today, I am pleased to announce yet another historic commitment. Serbia and Kosovo have each committed to economic normalization. After a violent and tragic history and years of failed negotiations, my Administration proposed a new way of bridging the divide. By focusing on job creation and economic growth, the two countries were able to reach a real breakthrough on economic cooperation across a broad range of issues.
We have also made additional progress on reaching peace in the Middle East. Kosovo and Israel have agreed to normalization of ties and the establishment of diplomatic relations. Serbia has committed to opening a commercial office in Jerusalem this month and to move its embassy to Jerusalem by July.
It has taken tremendous bravery by President Vučić of Serbia and Prime Minister Hoti of Kosovo to embark on these talks and to come to Washington to finalize these commitments. By doing so, they have made their countries, the Balkans, and the world safer. I look forward to seeing Serbia and Kosovo prosper as we work together on economic cooperation in the region going forward.
President Trump has been executing a foreign policy, a clear doctrine of sorts, where national security is achieved by leveraging U.S. economic power. It is a fundamental shift in approaching both allies and adversaries; summarized within the oft repeated phrase: “economic security is national security.”
The Trump Doctrine of using economics to achieve national security objectives is a fundamental paradigm shift. Modern U.S. history provides no easy reference.
“Peace is the prize” ~ President Donald Trump
The nature of the Trump foreign policy doctrine, as it has become visible, is to hold manipulative influence agents accountable for regional impact(s); and simultaneously work to stop any corrupted influence from oppressing free expression of national values held by the subservient, dis-empowered, people within the nation being influenced.
There have been clear examples of this doctrine at work. When President Trump first visited the Middle-East he confronted the international audience with a message about dealing with extremist influence agents. President Trump simply said: “drive them out.”
Toward that end, as Qatar was identified as a financier of extremist ideology, President Trump placed the goal of confrontation upon the Gulf Cooperation Council, not the U.S.
The U.S. role was clearly outlined as supporting the confrontation. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates needed to confront the toxic regional influence; the U.S. would support their objective. That’s what happened.
Another example: To confront the extremism creating the turmoil in Afghanistan, President Trump placed the burden of bringing the Taliban to the table of governance upon primary influence agent Pakistan. Here again, with U.S. support. Pakistan is the leading influence agent over the Taliban in Afghanistan; the Trump administration correctly established the responsibility and gives clear expectations for U.S. support.
If Pakistan doesn’t change their influence objective toward a more constructive alignment with a nationally representative Afghanistan government, it is Pakistan who will be held accountable. Again, the correct and effective appropriation of responsibility upon the influence agent who can initiate the solution, Pakistan.
The process of accurate regional assignment of influence comes with disconcerting sunlight. Often these influences are not discussed openly. However, for President Trump the lack of honesty is only a crutch to continue enabling poor actors. This is a consistent theme throughout all of President Trump’s foreign policy engagements.
The European Union is a collective co-dependent enabler to the corrupt influences of Iran. Therefore the assignment of responsibility to change the status is placed upon the EU.
The U.S. will fully support the EU effort, but as seen in the withdrawal from the Iran Deal, the U.S. will not enable growth of toxic behavior. The U.S. stands with the people of Iran, but the U.S. will not support the enabling of Iranian oppression, terrorism and/or dangerous military expansion that will ultimately destabilize the region. Trump holds the EU accountable for influencing change. Again, we see the Trump Doctrine at work.
Perhaps the most obvious application of the Trump Doctrine is found in how the U.S. administration approached the challenging behavior of North Korea. Rather than continuing a decades-long policy of ignoring the influence of China, President Trump directly assigned primary responsibility for a reset to Beijing.
China held, and holds, all influence upon North Korea and has long-treated the DPRK as a proxy province to do the bidding of Beijing’s communist old guard. By directly confronting the influence agent, and admitting openly for the world to see (albeit with jaw-dropping tactical sanction diplomacy) President Trump positioned the U.S. to support a peace objective on the entire Korean peninsula and simultaneously forced China to openly display their closely-guarded influence.
While the Red Dragon -vs- Panda influence dynamic is still ongoing, the benefit of this new and strategic approach has brought the possibility of peace closer than ever in recent history.
No longer is it outlandish to think of North Korea joining with the rest of the world in achieving a better quality of life for its people.
Not only is President Trump openly sharing a willingness to engage in a new and dynamic future for North Korea, but his approach is removing the toxic influences that have held down the possibility for generations. By leveraging China (through economics) to stop manipulating North Korea, President Trump is opening up a door of possibilities for the North Korean people. This is what I mean when I say Trump is providing North Korea with an opportunity to create an authentic version of itself.
♦The commonality in these foreign policy engagements is the strategic placement of responsibility upon the primary influence agent; and a clear understanding upon those nation(s) of influence, that all forward efforts must ultimately provide positive results for people impacted who lack the ability to create positive influence themselves.
One of the reasons President Trump is able to take this approach is specifically because he is beholden to no outside influence himself. It is only from the position of complete independence that accurate assignments based on the underlying truth can be made; and that takes us to the ultimate confrontations – the trillion dollar confrontations.
A U.S. foreign policy that provides the opportunity for fully-realized national authenticity is a paradigm shift amid a world that has grown accustomed to corrupt globalists, bankers and financial elites who have established a business model by dictating terms to national leaders they control and influence. We have our own frame of reference with K-Street lobbyists in Washington DC. Much of President Trump’s global trade reset is based on confronting these multinational influence agents.
When you take the influence of corporate/financial brokers out of foreign policy, all of a sudden those global influence peddlers are worthless. Absent of their ability to provide any benefit, nations no longer purchase these brokered services.
As soon as influence brokers are dispatched, national politicians become accountable to the voices of their citizens. When representing the voices of citizens becomes the primary political driver of national policy, the authentic image of the nation is allowed to surface.
Fortunately we are living in a time of great history, and we have multiple examples surfacing around the world. National elections in Poland, Hungary, Italy, Brazil and right here in the U.S. via Donald Trump highlight responses to dysfunctional multiculturalism and financial influences from corrupt elites within the institutions of globalist advocacy: The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Globalism can only thrive amid a class structure where the elites, though few in number, have more controlling power over the direction of government. It is not accidental the EU has appointed officials and unelected bureaucrats in Brussels as the primary decision-making authority.
As the Trump Doctrine clashes with the European global elite, the withdrawal of the U.S. financial underwriting creates a natural problem. Subsidies are needed to retain multiculturalism.
If a national citizenry has to pay for the indulgent decisions of the influence class, a crisis becomes only a matter of time.
Wealth distribution requires a host.
Since the end of World War II the U.S. has been a bottomless treasury for EU subsidy. The payments have been direct and indirect. The indirect have been via U.S. military bases providing security, the NATO alliance, and also by U.S. trade policy permitting one-way tariff systems. Both forms of indirect payment are now being reversed as part of the modern Trump Doctrine.
We are living in historic times….

Just can’t stop WINNING.
It’s fun to watch the Leftists heads explode again and again…
Trump…MAGA baby
Don’t forget the Rhino’s heads explode as well! Thank you Mr. President.
Donna Kovacevic…can you comment on this news ??? please..
I’m hoping for her comments as well.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Country!
Once again creating both justice AND peace in the world.
And getting little credit for either accomplishment.
Ric Grenell for President 2024? May be my favorite to replace Trump. I think the country is ready for Ric. Watch liberal heads explode with hypocrisy!
Good, if people are willing to talk over trade they may find it easier to talk over other things as well.
But not with the Demonrats.
All the accomplishments make them hate him more. Cry harder, libs! ?
This was fantastic. Grenell is terrific. A beautiful dress down.
Press Corps taken to school. And they didn’t like it! Lol “We’re not here to be lectured . . . ” Duh, yes you are you dumbash twits.
It was truly an excellent dress down. And to the press:
“Shape up, and you won’t have to be lectured!”
Richard Grenell is such a dynamic person. He tells the morons how irrelevant they are and they still don’t understand. I don’t think he could have been any clearer if he had come right out and said You people sitting here are one of the reasons that Donald Trump will win in a landslide on November 3rd.
“Buh buh buh I went to college!”
They received a ‘participation degree.’
Go get them Mr.Greell…..we do not see anymore real journalists as..PATRICK BUCHANAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr.Grenell….
.
One of the most enjoyable moments of the week. Grenell bitch-slapping the presspunks.
We would like see him more…to dress down..presstitutes…
I caught this on YouTube and I used it to whet my appetite before I partake of the whole occasion. I have NEVER seen such a whacking of media numbskulls in that press room by any official. It was a masterpiece! And the POS had the gall to rudely scold Ric by braying, ‘we didn’t come here to be lectured at’…my goodness the entire bunch of ninnies needs a ‘lecture’ before ANY presser! Kayleigh could learn from Ric. I loved it!
Special Envoy Grenell: “How about a substantive question?!”
Whiner: “We didn’t come here to be lectured — ”
Special Envoy and Servant of God Grenell: “I didn’t come here to lecture you, I came here to talk about Kosovo — “
I am positive those two year olds weren’t even sure what substantive meant. Too many syllables.
God bless you Ambassador Grenell. Perfectly said.
I think he’s right… the kids who come up to the White House to badger our Team likely have no idea where to find Kosovo and Bosnia on a map, let alone grasp the significance.
It’s been a LONG time since I was horrified by the news of torture, rape and mass murder coming out of the Balkan area. I still have questions about how the civil wars got started, and why; but please God may the madness END. May God bless you Amb. Grenell
I remember Bill Clinton was shocked that each Apache helicopter he moved to the area required a C-17 full of spare parts, special fixtures, and maintenance personnel.
Classic comeback.
???
Excellent!

Grenell is a Trump Clone with refinement.
Will definitely be in the cabinet in ‘21.
I am a big fan of Grenell, and the fact that so called journalists are prepared to just breeze over these historic peace talks is disgraceful. Its obvious that they do not know their history, particularly the horrific massacre of 8,000 men and boys at Srebrenica in July 1995 – and other events in which the non wonderful UN completely failed to protect innocent people. This is the result of teaching crappy grievance studies and wonky woke identity politics nonsense, no body under a certain age knows their history any more ! A big uptick to Grenell, he has the patience of a saint !
Ia will check furrther but IIRC, the K;osovo and Serbia region has been at logger heads since the Crusades ground to an indecisive finish some many years ago.
Deployed over there during that time…IT was a mess!!!!!!
Grenell is right.
They don’t want to talk about it because they’re all dumbsh*ts who don’t know the 1st thing about and couldn’t even be bothered to read a bit and brush up on the subject for an hour beforehand.
These people are worse than useless.
And>>> Heads Up, they have no shame & no intentions of becoming “better people”. Cuz that’s not what they were trained for.
Could the silly man who didn’t want a lecture be Brian Stelter?
To the woodshed presstitutes.
Take no prisoners Rick!!!
I am getting more and more impressed with the character and integrity of Ric Grenell to speak frankly and truthfully to the, “Powers of ‘Lack of Truthfulness’.”
Here is to suggesting that if PDJT’s political legacy is this man, then the President has invested and is passing MAGA into the hands of a very capable upcoming GOP Star.
Won’t be surprised of a coming day, “Ric unloads on the cultural political narratives to say directly to the LGBTQ community, “What does being a gay man have to do with accepting being lied to on daily basis, you want mainstream acceptance, well welcome to the mainstream you are being lied to just like the rest of us.”
mtk~~
Spectacularly elucidated!
I’m gonna ‘borrow’ that often!
M??A??G??A
Here’s the full press conference. They do finally get to substantive questions and it becomes even more evident that enemedia presstitutes are too stupid and lazy to read the key documents that are supposed to be the subject of their questions. The level of idiocy is beyond astounding and disgusting. However, the performance by everyone from PDJT’s administration was excellent, focused and professional. The contrast could not be clearer.
A room full of stupid Vinny Barberino’s. Dumber than Sean Penn.
Gosh how I love Ric Grenell!!! Whatever he is getting paid, it’s not enough!!
Smoking Ric, SMOKING!!!! That was a flamethrower.
Ric Grenell is one of the most refreshing and well spoken members of the Trump Administration. So glad that he was elevated to a position where he can shine.
Ric has a bright future if he chooses to remain in politics.
…another nice step in conducting the TRUMP World Order.
Or could be called the Trump Doctrine, worldwide reciprocal trade and freedom.
I’m losing track of the number of Nobel Peace Prizes President Trump deserves. Simply amazing.
calbear, except when obutthead was given the nobel peace prize they became meaningless.
I think that happened when Arafat was given one.
One terrorist dictator or another
They only have meaning, if you can write underneath the award what they actually DID to merit it.
Obama’s case proved that Nobel’s can be bought as easily as a Harvard degree.
yep, better not to give PDJT a meaningless participation trophy. PDJT will just continue getting things done.
President Trump will not get a Nobel Peace Prize. He more likely to get another Nobel Prize, economics comes to mind.
The reason I am saying this is that they are handed out by different committees from different countries {Sweden vs Norway} The Norwegian group is just left a little left of Stalin. Not all Norwegians are like that.
Let’s just call it a Trump Prize instead.
Trump ain’t after the Nobel
Remember her said “peace was the price” Trump’s after the peace itself
This also explains some of the people at the rally last night. 🙂
Contrast in facial expressions here. Robert O’brien has a big grin on his face and Pence looks anything but happy.
This is excellent news to head into the weekend with.
2020 is Everything!
Korean War end with 45 Victory!
I just saw a cat and a canary holding hands. Trump is amazing.
PDJT, student (prodigy) of Sun Tzu
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
Sun Tzu
Good. Deja Vu. I was just looking at a bag of some Prvi Partizan (PPU) bullets on the bench marked “Made in Serbia” this morning. Seems the Eastern Bloc (PPU, S&B, Russian junk), Brazil (Magtech), and Fiocchi (IT) stuff is now drifting in to restock some of the domestic ammo that’s been wiped out on the shelves. Maybe that Serbian *.mil inventory draw will decrease and more reloading components and boxed ammo can make their way to the U.S.
Still have xx,xxx rounds of Greek HXP ’06 from CMP mid 2000’s. Bought half a UPS truckfull full of it. 34 cents rd/delivered.
Applying the foreign policy strategm and success to US internal policy would be sweet indeed.
Goal [my personal insertions]:
“…to hold manipulative influence agents [Chamber of Commerce, foreign elites such as Soros, IO operatives from Europe, corrupted uni-party politicians in DC, etc.] accountable for regional [national] impact(s); and simultaneously work to stop any corrupted influence from oppressing free expression of national values [U.S. Constitution, rule of law, equal justice for ALL] held by the subservient, dis-empowered, people within the nation being influenced.”
From the old established way of doing things, “But .. but .. but .. that’s not how we get things done around here.”
And they still don’t get it. As well as the White House press corps (or should we call them the press corpse?)
PDJT is upending all the usual (and failed) ways of doing things and, in the process, is getting things done on a regular basis. Meanwhile, the establishment is focused on that shiny thing (PDJT’s latest tweet) and is missing all that’s been happening. By the end of his second term, they will not recognize the new world that PDJT has created.
Richard Grenell rocks!
as always….prtomr
Nobel Peace Prize on way for Trump?
Tired of watching US win and LEAD?
The World is noting and yet our domestic media ignores these successes?
One wonders if only to not compare Trump foreign policy to The One who aided in creating ISIS?

Europeans like to pretend they’re all above national and racial differences. When I worked for a French company, all they did was make fun of others. It didn’t bother me as an American I just thought it was funny because I knew the truth.
Remember a few years back when the EU was split between the northern Europeans and the “lazy” southern euros that were going bankrupt?
Amazing.
Better than Moses, he’s leading the world country by country out of Enslavement from the Globalst Pharoahs.
Not that I care a whit about the NPP, but if he was awarded that he should send some lowly recipient to receive and declare the money will be sent to some rebuild property destroyed by Antifa/BLM.
Another “no leak” success.
That should tell everyone that President Trump has cleaned house in the WH…Everything is SMALLER compared to what it was before. Open mouth and say something you shouldn’t … BAM…the BAM Hammer comes out@@@@ Couldn’t help myself1!!!!
You betcha. Leaks now occur to bait, trigger or trap. And sometimes for disinformation.
We need to give President 4 more years. Not only for ourselves, but for the whole world.
8 more years. To make up for the coup time lost.
Did I hear Hiden Biden reply today to a set up question that an american soldier ‘won’ a Bronz Star? I think you EARN a Bronze Star. It is not the oscars idiot!
Obamao/Bribem/Mooch/VaJaJa all celebrated when U.S. service personnel were demeaned or killed. Mooch would dress in party clothes to go to memorial services and they’d both smirk the entire time. Look it up. They all hate the USA and did everything they could get away with to murder by proxies USA’s greatest patriots. Fortunately, competency and hard work were not their significant attributes. We must never again allow that kind of scum into “Our House.”
So, does anyone here remember how many fronts the stellar Obama/Biden team had us involved? How many places we were dropping bombs? How many troops Obama/Biden sent to the Middle East? Hmmmmm… ?
If Biden is elected, won’t he get us tangled up in a bunch of messy wars, just like he did previously?
That’s a lot of rhetorical questions! Add how many U.S. citizens and civilians did Obamao/Bribem murder with drones. Hint, it’s more than a couple. The only way Bribem won’t have our sons and daughters in pointless, fake wars is if he totally surrenders us to China. Then China will have our sons and daughters in its genocidal, colonial wars.
We know why they hate him. Peace doesn’t pay their bills.
One of the debates should have a moderator asking about further peace accords that need to be done in the world. Trump could point out his accomplishments and planned ones. Biden could just retell his story on how he told Ukrainian leaders they wouldn’t get the money unless they fired the prosecutor.
Well, one can dream, can’t one?
“We didn’t come here to be lectured about journalism. We came to turn your Kosovo-Serbia pr whatever presser into an identity politics discussion, instead, like we studied about in the Ivy League. What part of that don’t you understand?”
AMAZING!!!! Our President and his cabinet are a force of nature!!!!!
TCH provides a bright spot in my day (thank you), where I may read about substantial accomplishments that would, in normal times, be celebrated or at least mentioned in the media. In these abnormal times, the media agenda excludes such good news since that would provide favorable press to their enemy. The accomplishments keep on coming, and won’t be hidden that much longer!
I spent two years in Kosovo advising and building the Kosovo Police Service and gaining accreditation for their Police Academy up in Vushtrii. The love and respect their citizens held and demonstrated for America and our efforts is one of the most memorable experience of my 45 year law enforcement career. We should either adopt the country or make them our 51st State.
Europe was just watching the action as I remember back then.
Another Hillary Clinton Tweet that didn’t age well.
Trump keeps showing up the incompetence of the professional political class. No wonder they hate him so.
Hillary, you ignorant slut.
LOL!
If you recall, this tweet was a lie when it was new. The Mexican president invited both presidential candidates to meet with him, Hillary blew him off. Trump went, and had a very pleasant and uneventful meeting. There was no international incident, nor was there any discord of any kind – although that is how the press portrayed it, following Clinton’s lead.
Some in the press are not as dumb as they look. They are professional, journalistic hit men and women. Presstitutes. They are willing to do and say whatever for a buck and 15 minutes of fame. They are sad, pathetic critters that deserve to be brought as low as a snake’s belly to fulfill their destinies.
Most of them are though. I was a non-traditional college student (graduated in ’13 at 52) and it was well known on the engineering side of the campus the intelligence echelon. Education majors were securely on the bottom rung with journalism majors just one step above them. Even the Humanities and Social majors were advanced to them both in capability.
Perhaps the Trump Administration can play educational videos in front of the press pool while they wait for a press conference to start. Then the press idiots can learn what has happened and why it is so important today and how it resets global relationships for the betterment of peace and mankind.
What an excellent idea why not give them some truth to watch maybe some Trump Campaign advertising while waiting for press release to begin
That.would.be.epic!
Then you have the press at the end. PTrump asks if they have any questions for the two leaders from Kosovo and Serbia who just signed an historic agreement and what are the questions about? Not the agreement.
First reporter asks if the jobs improvement and unemployment rates released today and which were better than expected, “Is that good enough?” Idiots. All of them. I’m so glad Grenell took them and ripped them up later.
Treeper’s –
Aside from the blessings Father gives me with his everyday miracles He has also blessed me with presidents.
I was serving in the U.S.A.F. when President Ronald Reagan was elected. Take it from an insider, the change he brought us was overnight, dearly needed, and will be part of a lasting legacy. Perhaps in the near future I’ll take the time to rank the most influential presidents with their greatest importance to me.
For now I’ll simply note I could not be more proud to remember the victories and to say he was my Commander in Chief.
Until President Trump set his mind to saving America we were in a bad way and getting worse w/ each passing election. Average Americans and everyday republicans intuitively knew almost every politician was out for themselves. So we decided to send a crook and her box of Chardonnay packing and off to a permanent retirement.
Her replacement and our selection was a New York tough guy and a world class builder. His vision was simple his message direct – America first, America last, America always. Now he stands before us again doing things great and small to ensure America leads the way for the world. Years have pasted and I have a lot more gray hair but my hope is that young man’s surety has simply been replaced with an old man’s experience. To see the call of my country and follow the lead of another great man.
For now I’ll simply note I could not be more proud to remember the victories and to say he was my Commander in Chief.
Nice post Drogers
Very kind slowcobra.
I’m glad you enjoyed.
What an accomplishment, again.
Noble Peace Prize could get back on track by recognizing President Trump and his administration for all he has done in the quest for world peace in under four years.
These developments are consistence with GOD’S WORD inside THE MAY 15TH PROPHECY see https://may15thprophecy4lastdaywatchers.com/2020/08/13/israel-peace-and-the-middle-east/

Outstanding analysis.
“National Authenticity.” A powerful reframing of “nationalism” which is distorted by Marxists to fear monger. Let’s make this new term trend.
The article shows that Trump is smart enough to see that the plug(s) to drain our swamp is not just in Washington, but in institutions around the world.
