The Chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee with the Senate, Petru Filip, believes Republican Donald Trump has a different typology as politician for the European chancelleries, being an unpredictable person.

It’s the moment for the parties, for individuals to get involved directly with American policy, to activate and get involved in supporting the building of the Romanian security, currently ongoing with NATO and the US,” Filip said.
