President Klaus Iohannis stated, on Friday, that Romania relies on the Partnership with the USA in what regards the Eastern Flank.
"Romania is very aware of the fact that we stand on the Eastern Flank and we heavily rely on your Partnership, President Trump, because we cannot stand there without the US, we cannot stand there alone, on the other hand, our partnership has a huge opportunity to step up, not only in security matters, but also in commercial and economic matters, and this is very important. Romania is a member of the European Union and I think it's the best interest of you, Mr. President, to have a strong European Union as a partner", the head of state said at the joint press conference held at the White House together with his US counterpart, Donald Trump.
The Romanian President also emphasized that Romanian-American relations and the transatlantic link are vital. "The transatlantic link is not about diplomacy, about policy, it's at the basis of our Western civilization. Together we will make it stronger, together we will make it better. NATO and the European Union do not have to compete against each other, they have to work together, they have to work in such a manner as to produce synergetic effects, make NATO stronger, make Europe stronger, make the United States of America stronger," Iohannis specified.
He also showed that strengthening the Strategic Partnership will lead to higher commercial trade. "This is what we discussed, what we wish, because we are responsible, President Trump and I, not only for the security, we are responsible for the wellbeing of our citizens," the head of state concluded.
