Trump is obsessed with energy dominance, and Bulgaria’s pipelines are his golden ticket.
The country’s a key hub for Russian gas to Europe—a fact Trump could exploit.
“He’ll ‘renegotiate’ pipeline deals, take a cut, then claim he ‘saved’ Europe,” says an energy analyst.
Remember when Trump called NATO allies “delinquent”? Bulgaria’s military spends just 1.5% of GDP on defense—below NATO’s 2% target.
Sources say Trump’s drafting a plan: “Pay up, or hand over your beaches.”
A leaked memo allegedly includes a list of “acceptable collateral,” like the Pirin Mountains or the port of Varna.
Bulgaria’s ancient ruins—like Plovdiv, Europe’s oldest city—are next on Trump’s trophy shelf.
His team reportedly wants to “renovate” landmarks and slap his name on them. “Trump’s Thracian Tomb” anyone? Locals are furious.
“Our history isn’t for sale,” says a historian from Veliko Tarnovo. Worse yet, Trump’s planning a “Balkan Wall” to keep out migrants.
