US embassy in Romania

The United States and 11 European countries have urged Romania's lawmakers not to adopt law changes that threaten the fight against corruption in the country, as parliament on Thursday started discussing changes to the criminal code.

Bucharest, May 29 /Agerpres/ - US President Donald Trump is controversial both in the United States as in Europe but, "when you look past the controversy and you put that aside, there is a clarity of purpose in US foreign policy", said, in an interview for AGERPRES, foreign policy expert James Carafano.

Romanian media outlets are desperately chasing one of US President Trump's sons, who has reportedly been spotted on a private hunting trip in the countryside.

The chase started on Wednesday after the mayor of the southern town of Giurgiu said one of the Trump sons might be on a hunting trip in Singureni, a large private domain, 40 kilometres from the capital, Bucharest.

Florin Jianu has submitted his resignation as Romania's Justice Minister, following massive protests against controversial criminal law changes by the government.

On Facebook, he has said his consciousness tells him "this is not negotiable."

Romanians love sweets in general and pancakes are one of their favourites desserts. That was one reason why Alexandra Lipovan, a young woman from Satu Mare, in northern Romania, three years ago started ClaTos, a food truck from which she sells artisan-style French crepes.

The Embassy of the United States of America in Bucharest in a new clarification on Tuesday says that parliamentary immunity shouldn't be used for blocking the legal procedures.

We don't comment upon individual cases. The law must be equally enforced for everyone. Parliamentary immunity shouldn't be used for blocking legal procedures, the US Embassy shows.

The collaboration between Romanian and American armed forces in military exercises is an example for both countries, Charge d'affaires ad interim Dean Thompson of the US Embassy in Romania asserted on Tuesday, at the firing range of the Romanian Marines Battalion of Babadag. He was there on the Distinguished Visitors Day of the Platinum Eagle 15 multinational training module.
