  • Members will also discuss terms for reviewing U.S. force posture and deployment locations in Europe, including a possible strengthened presence in Romania.

Romania’s Supreme Council of National Defence is due to meet Monday with the possible strengthening of the U.S. military presence in the country among its main agenda items. President Nicușor Dan convened the session for 3 p.m. at Cotroceni Palace.

The council will examine several documents on national security and defense, including Romania’s military procurement plan for 2027-2036 and the “Romania’s Army 2044” program. It will also review a document on implementing the SAFE program, approved at an interinstitutional working meeting on Aug. 13, 2026.

Another central issue will be the terms of reference for a review by the U.S. Department of War of the posture of American forces and their deployment locations in Europe. The discussion will include strengthening the U.S. military presence on Romanian territory, a subject described as having important implications for the security of NATO’s eastern flank.

The Presidential Administration said the council would also examine other current national security issues. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 7, at Cotroceni Palace.

Other current issues in the field of national security will also be analyzed during the council meeting.
