At a Davos interview, U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States “has never needed” NATO and that allies had been “just a little out of the front line” in Afghanistan. The comments, which deny any substantial NATO presence in the 20‑year war, were denounced by Romanian editor Mihai Isac as false and insulting to the soldiers who fought alongside Americans. Isac named several Romanian servicemen-Iosif‑Silviu Fogarași, Mihail‑Anton Samuilă, Narcis Șonei, Ionel Gheorghiță Drăgușanu, Ciprian‑Ștefan Polschi, Mădălin Stoica-who died in Afghanistan and accused the political class of neglecting them. The editorial accuses Trump of trivializing the sacrifices of allied troops and calls for recognition of Romanian heroes.
