Romania is committed to working with the United States to combat the cybersecurity threats posed by Chinese vendors in 5G networks.

STRENGTHENING ENERGY SECURITY AND INVESTMENT: The United States will continue working with Romania to support energy security in Europe.

The United States will work with Romania to improve its investment climate and help the country better use its vast natural gas resources.
- These efforts will increase investment opportunities for American companies, increase prosperity for the Romanian people, and improve energy security across the region.
Romania supports the Trump Administration's energy diversification efforts in Europe, which decrease European countries' dependence on Russian energy sources.
- Romania opposed Nord Stream II and other pipeline projects that increase Europe's dependence on Russia.
The United States and Romania are strong supporters of the Three Seas Initiative, which is important to increasing energy market access and security
