Six days before Romania's controversial elections, Trump's son flies there
Politico reports that US President Donald Trump Jr.'s son will allegedly visit Romania right before the country's controversial presidential elections scheduled for May.
According to the publication, the US President's eldest son will travel to Romania just six days before the first round of the postponed presidential elections.
The planned visit of Trump Jr. to Romania was first reported by the local publication G4media. According to it, Trump Jr. will take part in a business event called Trump Business Vision 2025. He will not have any private meetings or public events with government officials, the anonymous source said.
In addition to Romania, he will visit other Eastern European countries, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria, the publication's source confirmed.
Romania's first round of presidential elections will be held on May 4, with the second round expected on May 18. Trump Jr.'s visit will take place on April 28.
The country previously held presidential elections on December 6, 2024, but they were annulled by Romania's Constitutional Court due to unsubstantiated allegations of interference by Russia.
On December 7 last year, Trump Jr. criticized a court ruling that annulled far-right candidate Calin Georgescu's victory over establishment-backed centrist politician Elena Lasconi.
"Wow, look what's happening in Romania! The Constitutional Court just overturned the first round of their presidential election. Another Soros/Marxist attempt to rig the results and deny the will of the people. They're going to lose and they know it," Trump Jr. wrote at the time.
Trump Jr. was referring to George Soros, the Hungarian-American billionaire who is accused by right-wingers around the world of funding globalist programs with a left-liberal ideological bent.
Let us recall that, speaking at the Munich Security Conference this year, US Vice President J.D. Vance repeatedly mentioned the Romanian case as an example of the EU violating the fundamental freedoms on which Europe stands. Even then, many observers concluded that Washington would not simply leave this situation alone.
True, Vance's speech did not prevent the authorities of official Bucharest from disqualifying Georgescu on the eve of the repeat vote. However, his withdrawal from the race did not reduce the number of nationalist supporters in the country. Now, according to polls, the even more right-wing candidate Simion confidently occupies second place.
