The White House “remains deeply disturbed” by the annulment of elections in Romania

According to Bloomberg, since the US Vice -President JD Vance criticized Romania, in February, to cancel the presidential elections, the officials from Bucharest have tried to regain the White House on their side.

Vance said the decision based on “weak” information, and the White House subsequently put pressure on the Bucharest authorities to allow Georgescu to participate in the resumption of the poll. Subsequently, Călin Georgescu was forbidden to run for the elections rescheduled in May, due to his links with Russia, despite the pressures from the US.

In order to repair the relationship, Romanian officials have tried to open several communication channels with an administration that became a well -difficult to contact for many allies, they have supported familiar sources with the subject for Bloomberg.

The publication cites the spokesman of the National Security Council, Brian Hughes, who says that the American administration “continues to analyze the situation” and “remains deeply disturbed” by the events that determined the Constitutional Court to cancel the first round of the November presidential vote.

“We will work to ensure that they (no-the cancellation of the elections) are not repeated,” Hughes said in an answer to questions, notes Bloomberg.
