Romanian parties AUR and PSD have taken positions that mirror those of U.S. President Donald Trump. In Washington, AUR leader George Simion travelled with a group of party members while PSD's Sorin Grindeanu publicly urged Romania to accept an invitation to join Trump’s proposed Peace Council. Political analyst Cristian Hrițuc warns that these moves reflect a wider trend of U.S.-EU tension and a weakening of NATO, and he cautions that Romania’s security and sovereignty could be at risk. He notes Russia’s long‑standing opposition to NATO expansion and stresses the need for a robust Ukrainian ally. European states such as Italy and France have expressed caution about the Peace Council, while Hrițuc accuses the Romanian politicians of pursuing personal electoral gains rather than national interests.
