Very much looking forward to seeing how the White House spins today's Kosovo-Serbia meeting in Washington as some great, historic peace deal.
'Rather than grasp reality and create a pathway for Kosovo’s recognition, the Trump administration clings to the same religious belief in “economic normalization” that undergirded its failed so-called deal of the century.' foreignpolicy.com/2020/09/03/tru…
Welp.
Worth noting that Richard Grenell denied this (not that there’s any reason to believe Grenell at this point)—what a day.
lol
"Photo op without anyone knowing what's being signed while still claiming historic progress" does seem like an especially Trumpian move. ht @CrisLeeMaza
Some worthwhile technical stuff in the Serbia-Kosovo agreement (recognizing diplomas, efforts to work to extend LGBT rights) but all those worried about today's signing being completely hyped out of proportion look like they were right.
Didn't expect "Kosovo is now in the Middle East" to be the main thrust of the White House's spin today.
This was always going to be the White House’s spin, regardless of what was signed last week.
Great read from @majda_ruge on how the White House's effort to spin the Serbia-Kosovo meeting last week was as empty as it appeared: 'This is amateur-hour diplomacy, and the damage done dwarfs any gains.' politico.eu/article/trump-…
Richard Grenell, who helped author this “deal,” really is one of the worst diplomats the U.S. has produced in years.
The White House’s “historic” Kosovo-Serbia agreement is already falling apart: nytimes.com/2020/09/12/us/…
Richard Grenell has decided to claim Trump brokered a “historic peace deal” between Serbia and Kosovo, all facts and reality be damned.
