President Trump and Joe Biden are far apart on foreign policy, and on Friday, one of their greatest differences took center stage. Twenty-one years after Biden spearheaded Bill Clinton’s push to bomb Belgrade, an act that included targeted strikes against civilian journalists, the Trump administration achieved the unthinkable: the normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo, as well as the former’s commitment to move its Israeli Embassy to Jerusalem and the latter’s agreement to recognize the sole democracy of the Middle East.
The blockbuster agreement dovetails with two of the administration’s most important diplomatic efforts. First is Jared Kushner’s hotly publicized push to achieve the formal recognition of Israel in the Middle East. Second is Richard Grenell’s mission to bring peace in the Balkans.
