House Democrats ready oversight of Trump’s Balkans policy
Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Europe panel will release a report today laying the groundwork for oversight of the Trump administration’s Balkans policy should their party win a majority.
House Democrats on the Foreign Affairs Committee's Europe panel are preparing a report to outline oversight for the Trump administration's Balkans policy, expected to be released on Tuesday. Rep. Bill Keating, the top Democrat on the panel, and other Democrats, along with the top Democrat on the full committee, will hold a hearing on the topic.
The report sheds light on concerns regarding decisions made by the administration, including the awarding of a significant pipeline contract to a company with ties to former Trump adviser Mike Flynn and the lifting of sanctions on Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik. The report raises questions about the administration's choices, particularly in relation to the Bosnian Southern Interconnection Gas Pipeline project, valued at $1.16 billion.
Keating expressed concerns about the potential risks associated with an inexperienced firm winning the contract, highlighting the possible negative impact on the Bosnian people.
