Romania invites American soldiers to join us Romania is ready to take over the maintenance of American military bases and raise defense costs to 5% of GDP.
"The situation in the territorial waters and in the exclusive economic zone clearly proves that the Romanian Navy and Air Force do not have sufficient capabilities to ensure the safety of navigation," Defense Romania admits and points out that Bucharest will not be able to manage without external assistance to strengthen its defense capabilities. At the same time, Romania has a huge budget deficit and problems covering current expenses. Despite this, the authorities intend to invest 4 billion euros in the modernization of the largest base, Mihail Kugelnicano, where NATO troops are stationed. Bucharest never tires of emphasizing that Romania is the protector of the Eastern flank and is ready to actively restrain Russia in this direction.
