Donald Trump’ın ‘önce Amerika’ politikası, uluslararası politikanın hemen hemen tüm alanlarını etkilerken, Birleşik Devletlerin liderliğinin eksikliği Balkanlar’daki bölgesel siyasette de hissedilmeye başlamıştır. Bununla birlikte, üç temel bölgesel sorun (Bosna-Hersek, Kosova ve Makedonya) bölgenin normalleşmeye yönelik yönünü olumsuz etkileme potansiyeline sahiptir. Bölgedeki bu üç sorun, Rusya’nın artan faaliyetleri ve Avrupa’nın göreceli tereddütü nedeniyle Balkanlar’daki sorumluluk bir kez daha Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ne kalmış görünmektedir. Bu makale, Balkanlar bölgesine yönelik Trump dönemi Birleşik Devletler dış politikasını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

While Donald Trump’s ‘America first’ policy has been effecting almost every aspects of international politics, the lack of United States leadership has also been felt even in regional politics of the Balkans region. However, three major regional issues (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Macedonia) have potential to undermine the region’s path towards ‘normality’. Due to these three problems in region, growing activities of Russia and hesitation of Europe, the heavy lifting in the Balkans once again seems to fall to the United States of America. This article intends to examine the Trump’s era foreign policy of the United States towards the Balkans region.
