The war poses a dilemma for Simion. Although he’s a nationalist who aligns with MAGA on leaving Ukraine to fend for itself, he’s far less keen than Trump to align publicly with Russia. Indeed, Simion styles himself as the candidate who can keep the U.S. committed to stationing troops in Romania.
“What we wish, as a country affected by German and Russian imperialism in history, is that this peace formula comes with new security guarantees for the next 30 to 50 years so that Russia cannot do again what it did, violating all international treaties,” Simion said.
While competitors in last year’s election accused him of wanting to take Romania out of the EU, Simion has insisted he wants his country to remain a member, but that the bloc should focus solely on the economy and not interfere in culture and defense.
Simion also stressed he wanted Romania to stay in NATO, led by the U.S.
“I don’t believe that a defense force led by France and Great Britain could be an alternative to the security solution that worked since World War II, the Pax Americana formula,” Simion said, referencing a new security architecture for Europe and notably post-war Ukraine.
Instead, he said, NATO countries should do as Trump demands by increasing their military expenditures.
“All countries must raise this spending; I find it fair to pay for your own security and to invest in your own security,” he said.
