BUCHAREST – A bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation of four Republicans and four Democrats arrived in Romania on Monday to meet with Bucharest officials. The talks will focus on last November's presidential election, the upcoming elections in May and Washington's recent suspension of Romania from the visa waiver program.
The U.S. lawmakers plan to meet with civil society representatives and Romanian lawmakers. They will be received on Tuesday by Acting President Ilie Boloian and Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu.
According to Romanian media, the delegation will ask for evidence that formed the basis for the Constitutional Court's decision to annul the first round of the presidential elections in November 2024. They are also expected to ask about the organization of repeat elections next month.
Following Donald Trump's return to the White House, Vice President J.D. Vance and other U.S. officials criticized the Constitutional Court's decision.
