The United States has cautioned Romania against the ‘serious negative consequences’ of potentially distancing itself from Western alliances, following the lead of nationalist candidate Călin Georgescu in the presidential elections. Matthew Miller from the State Department highlighted that Romania’s hard-won progress in the transatlantic community should not be reversed by foreign influences seeking to alter its foreign policy. The statement also referenced allegations of a ‘malicious’ digital campaign by Russia aimed at influencing the election result.
