US calls for calm in Romania after presidential election annulled

The United States has called for calm in Romania after the country's top court annulled the presidential election due to alleged Russian interference. The court's decision came just before the run-off election, favoring the far-right candidate. President Klaus Iohannis will remain in office until a new election date is established. The U.S. expressed confidence in Romania's democratic institutions and the ongoing investigations into foreign influence. Romanian authorities had raised concerns after far-right candidate Calin Georgescu led the first round of voting. Russia has denied any involvement in the election, calling the allegations "absurd."
