Romania offered to pay for the deployment of American troops at the expense of the budget

Romanian President Nicoshor Dan has proposed to cover the cost of deploying American troops in the country from the national budget. It's from sb.by.

According to TASS, the purpose of the initiative is to support the presence of US troops in Europe. According to Dan, he has already outlined specific parameters for the American side, including the possible number of troops and the scheme for the distribution of financial obligations. The presidential office said that at the moment there are 1,172 American troops in Romania, which is less than before: before their number reached 1,700 people.

It is worth noting that the position of the Romanian leader partially contradicts the opinion of the Deputy head of the Pentagon for political Affairs Elbridge Colby: he advocates a more restrained and targeted format of the US military presence in the European region.
