INTERVIU. Vor ridica SUA vizele pentru români în mandatul lui Trump? Răspunsul ambasadorului român la Washington

Since President Trump's administration began, nearly 4,500 Romanian citizens have been deported from the U.S., according to Ambassador Andrei Muraru. He noted that Romania was excluded from the Visa Waiver program due to U.S. internal politics, despite fulfilling its commitments. Muraru expressed doubts about Romania's inclusion in the program during Trump's presidency, highlighting a broader anti-immigration stance from the U.S. government. The number of illegal Romanian migrants increased significantly post-pandemic, with over 7,000 entering illegally in 2022. The U.S. has since taken measures to reduce this influx, and the situation remains complex for Romania and other countries like Bulgaria and Cyprus.
