US President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that he would swiftly dismiss his advisers Chris LaCivita and James Blair "if there's a conflict," according to a New York Times report. The pair had reportedly visited Bosnia's Republika Srpska territory in the days leading up to the country's upcoming election on Sunday. LaCivita and Blair had been appointed by Trump to spearhead campaign efforts ahead of the November 3 midterm election in the United States.

The president hinted that he might terminate the advisers if there were any conflicts of interest. The United States, Russia, and the European Union have been competing for influence in Bosnia.
