reporter in the world. [inaudible] i wish the president welcome to the white house will go back to the oval office. >> thank you progress we were a mess and reminiscing for a moment before you came in, back when i was a senator 180 years ago i worked very hard to get romania's to exceed every expectation. and 20 years ago's when we joined nato and every year since our nations have grown closer. we say romania and american troops are certainly side-by-side across nato. including in your country. there's about 1800 and american forces there. we thank you for that. and we see nato's eastern flank.

i want to thank you, mr. president for your leadership. especially the black it's incredible, you stood up and help you provided to ukraine is real. it is significant. support support for the people in ukraine. you have allowed refugees to come across and be in your country. 8000. also your security assistance with ukraine united states is committed to standing with you. to date we lay the foundation for the next few years look forward to discussions to say we've got a lot to discuss and am looking forward to it. the floor is yours. >> thank you very much mr. president. thank you for making this

meeting possible on short notice. i believe it is timely. i believe your absolute right. we have a lot of issues to discuss. let me just start by saying we manage not only members of nato thanks to you and others who really fought us once a proud member of nato. also managed to work on our bilateral relationship which became stronger and stronger. we have a strategic partnership. and i think by making this partnership strong, we also managed to make the transatlantic link strong. my opinion the transatlantic link is the cornerstone of our

democratic way of life. of values. so obviously it is linked to the weight we see the future of our nation. the way, how we managed to make our nations work better. live better. how we managed to guarantee security of people. how we managed to make our economies grow. we have really a lot of issues. that we can discuss. sometimes i believe to remember the life that we managed to move ahead. we have managed very positive results and of course we will discuss things we still have to

achieve. and so it may be just an example, we are working together on a visa waiver for romania. this goes well hopefully before long we will have results. but unfortunately the most important issue is to find a way to reinstall peace. helping ukraine and the ukrainians set such a huge example of how this can be done. romania is trying its best and we have some really good results. but nevertheless we have to find ways to prevent russia to win this war in ukraine. we have to state united. when you have to work together and we will as far as i can see.

so a lot of issues mr. president too. >> a lot of issues to let me just say one thing. i don't think there's any nato partner with a stronger commitment to the alliance and then romania and the united states. it is a value set. it is what we believe you stepped up and have been incredible what you have done what were going to continue to do together is going to be significant. not only for europe but for the whole world thank you. >> thank you.
