🇷🇴Far-right Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu has announced that if elected, he will ban the transit of Ukrainian grain and halt military aid to Ukraine.
Georgescu emphasized that his top priority is the Romanian people, stating, “I cannot imagine a situation where there is a war next to Romania, in the middle of Europe.”
Additionally, he questioned the effectiveness of EU funds allocated to Romania’s economy and development.
“Have EU funds helped us? Are we dependent on EU funds? Can’t our country produce? Don’t we have other investors? There is money everywhere in this world, let me tell you,” Georgescu remarked.
It is worth noting that the Constitutional Court of Romania has validated the results of the first round of presidential elections, which saw far-right politician Călin Georgescu and pro-European candidate Elena Lasconi advancing to the runoff.

US House Speaker Johnson rejects Biden request for $24 billion on new Ukraine aid
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday rejected a White House request to pass $24 billion in additional aid for Ukraine by the end of the year, saying any further assistance for Kyiv would be decided by President-elect Trump when he assumes office in January.
“I’m not planning to do that,” Johnson said in response to a question if he would add aid for Ukraine to a continuing resolution to fund the government.
Johnson, speaking during a House Republican Leaders news conference, said Trump’s election victory is changing the dynamic of Russia’s war on Ukraine and that any additional U.S. assistance for Kyiv should be decided under the next administration.
“So, it is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now, we have a newly elected president and we’re going to wait and take the new commander in chief’s direction on all that so I don’t expect any Ukraine funding to come up now.”
Biden’s request to Congress reportedly called for $8 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which helps provide military equipment to Ukraine, fund training of its armed forces and advisory efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s defensive position against Russian aggression.
The request also included $16 billion for the Department of Defense to replenish stocks sent to Ukraine, and funds for repair of military equipment in DOD stocks. The funds are also used to reimburse the DOD for military education and training provided to the Ukrainian government or other foreign countries supporting Ukraine.
While a majority of Republicans and Democrats support providing military and economic aid to Ukraine in its defensive war against Russia, Trump and his allies, including Vice President-elect JD Vance, have criticized the amount provided to Ukraine as wasteful and diverting from priorities in the U.S. and to confront China.

My reaction is best summarized by a meme of my own creation that I posted to my Facebook page: “I have no plans to explain, rationalize or justify Hunter Biden’s pardon to MAGA. MAGA can go f*ck itself.”
