Romania is prepared to pay the US for the deployment of additional American troops — Financial Times

Nicușor Dan, a Romanian official, stated that Bucharest has proposed financial terms to Washington aimed at maintaining and increasing the American military presence.

The Romanian side has already submitted proposals to the U.S. regarding the number of military personnel and the allocation of costs for their upkeep.

There are currently 1,172 U.S. troops in Romania, down from the previous 1,700. Bucharest is considering a payment arrangement similar to the one in Poland, up to $15,000 annually for each service member.
"We want more American troops and greater combat capabilities," emphasized Dan. In Poland, a similar funding scheme is being considered for the planned "Fort Trump" base.
