Donald Trump stated that the partial withdrawal of American troops from Romania is not an important issue, despite the reduction of military presence in Europe.

American President Donald Trump commented on the partial withdrawal of American troops from Romania, stating that this issue is not very important and does not represent a major problem. The statement was made aboard Air Force One, in the context in which the United States announced a reduction of military presence on the eastern front of Europe, especially in Romania, despite the conflict in Ukraine. The Romanian Ministry of National Defense (MApN) confirmed that it was informed about this decision, which concerns the forces stationed at the Mihail Kogălniceanu base. However, approximately one thousand American soldiers will continue to remain in Romania.
