Trump agenda targets Bosnia energy pipeline for U.S. LNG supply

The plan centers on a Croatia to Bosnia pipeline intended to feed U.S. LNG, backed by lobbying tied to Trump loyalists and longtime political influence concerns.

OilPrice reports Bosnia is the next focus of the Trump administration’s disruption agenda, with an opaque energy arrangement positioned at the center of efforts to secure a pipeline from Croatia to supply U.S. LNG.

According to OilPrice, the administration has been dismantling elements of long-running U.S. policy toward Bosnia and Herzegovina since the second half of 2025, and the pipeline work is described as being brokered through an unnamed company led by Trump loyalists.

The story says the administration is betting it can manage Milorad Dodik, a Bosnian Serb strongman who has challenged the authority of the Bosnian state and threatened the constitutional order established by the 1995 Dayton peace agreement.

OilPrice adds that a lobbying contract Republika Srpska signed with RRB Strategies, headed by former Illinois governor and Trump ally Rod Blagojevich, helped set the playbook, with Michael Flynn described as working similar Washington terrain through a separate organization.
