Trump appointed the new ambassador to Romania following the fraudulent elections.

President Donald Trumpannounced on Wednesday the appointment of Darryl Nirenberg as the new United States ambassador toRomania.

The announcement was made through the Truth Social platform, where Trump highlighted that Nirenberg will strengthen bilateral relations with Romania, support military cooperation between both countries, and promote the economic and security interests of the United States abroad.

"Darryl has 40 years of experience in foreign policy, including his role as an advisor to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee," wrote Trump.

The appointment comes after the official announcement of the retirement of the outgoing ambassador, Kathleen Kavalec, published on the Facebook page of the U.S. embassy in Bucharest.

Nirenberg is currently a partner at the law firm Steptoe. Before his career in the private sector, he worked for 14 years in the United States Senate, holding key positions, including legal advisor to the Foreign Relations Committee.

During that time, he was recognized for his ability to negotiate and reach bipartisan consensus on international policy issues. Additionally, he recently ran for the Alexandria City Council, which provided him with direct experience in democratic electoral processes.

Nirenberg is a graduate of Colgate University and the George Washington University Law School.

This appointment occurs in a delicate political context in Romania, marked by serious accusations of electoral fraud in recent elections.

Various reports from local and international media, as well as complaints from opposition parties, have pointed out irregularities during municipal, parliamentary, and presidential elections, including vote manipulation, irregular access to the polls by officials, and lack of transparency in the counting process.

Electoral watchdog organizations and NGOs like Expert Forum have warned about the lack of adequate oversight and the use of state resources to benefit certain parties.

In this context, the role of the new U.S. ambassador acquires strategic importance, not only to strengthen bilateral cooperation on defense and economic issues but also to support democratic consolidation in Romania.

Nirenberg is expected to use his experience in legislative and diplomatic processes to foster institutional stability and respect for democratic values, in line with the shared transatlantic security interests between the United States and Romania.
