Romania seeks to increase the presence of American troops and enhance combat capabilities on its territory. Defense Minister Radu Oprea stated that additional troops could be accommodated in existing bases at lower costs than previously suggested. He emphasized the importance of American military presence for Romania's security and proposed the development of the Mihail Kogălniceanu base. The proposal will be reviewed by U.S. officials before reaching President Trump. Oprea clarified that the costs associated with accommodating American soldiers would be less than the rumored €15,000 per soldier, reflecting Romania's lower living costs compared to Poland.
