we feel well in Europe, but we want to be Romanians, and we want to put Romania first, and that's why the majority of Romanians, they were clear supporters of President Trump when saying America first. It's something that not only Romanian people, but I think the eastern countries felt even more than the western ones. It was a sort of dictatorship of unnatural and unnatural

unspecific values from Brussels, besides the huge bureaucracy, the hypocrisy coming from there, and this very easy Orwellian speech, if you are with us, you are good, If you disagree on something, you are with Russia or you are with somebody bad. It was a huge pressure.

And this is how I explain why the two candidates coming from the government, from the main parties, they did not even qualify for the second round. It was first time in our democracy and it gave a very, very strong message about what Romanian people really want. It's a big change. not changing the Moscow times with the Brussels times. We don't love Russia.

We are afraid of Russia, but we see the United States as being our ally, which will guarantee not only our military safety, but also our values and our democracy and our freedom of speech and everything that we and our parents have fought for.

I strongly believe that, first of all, the values, most of the values that the Trump administration is trying to reinstate in the United States are not only acceptable, but are feeling very familiar to Romanians. Once again, To put your country on first position, you put the United States and President Trump is doing this.

We should put Romania on the first position always and to fight for our sovereignty and our national interest. Also, once again, respecting all the people. But we have a tradition, we have a religion, we have our values which should be respected and In Europe, we just have to be member of a club, but not surrendering our tradition and our national interest.

Being more concrete regarding this new, because it's a new, let's call it a conflict between US and European establishment. First of all, I think that the idea of change, it's more than necessary for Europe like it is for America.

Whatever it's important about reducing bureaucracy, reducing getting back to the real values, cutting off the Soros fake values that were imposed, it's something good for Europe and it's something good for Romania. Besides that, in terms of security, Romania wishes to contribute more.

We understand that we cannot just say, we don't care, America will defend us against Russia, so it's US concern to bring here military. No, we want to share. We want to have a very pragmatic approach, saying, look, Romania can afford now to pay, to invest more, as long as we have a strong and reliable partner in the United States. And I strongly believe that Europe is going to be weaker now.

without United States. I strongly believe that NATO without United States doesn't exist and doesn't work. And it's the interest of Romania and it's in the good interest of Europe to strengthen the relationship, military, politically, economically with the United States, not to look for a for a conflict which will totally be in disadvantage of my country and Europe.
