President Nicușor Dan stated that the lobbying agreement with Eversheds Sutherland is beneficial for Romania, facilitating numerous meetings with U.S. officials. He expressed intent to extend the contract, pending approval from the Supreme Council of National Defense. The agreement has reportedly aided various Romanian authorities in their dealings with the U.S. administration. Dan emphasized that the contract streamlines access to American decision-makers, resulting in significant diplomatic engagements. The presidential administration justified the contract's cost by highlighting its strategic importance for Romania's defense and international integration, backed by a political consensus among pro-Western parties.
