Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu designated two special emissaries this week to lobby beside the American administration. The “truth” analyzed the chances of the two of succeeding in this extremely important and difficult mission.
Dragoș Sprîncean has financed Donald Trump Facebook’s campaign
Dragoș Sprînceană, one of the two special emissaries appointed by Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu to lobby for Romania next to the administration of President Donald Trump, is established for more than two decades, being a successful businessman.
It runs in the United States Gold Coast Logistics, a company with hundreds of employees, with a network of over 250 trucks carrying goods everywhere in America, except for the three continental states: Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The company is based in the state of Illinois, a short distance from the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
Appreciated in the American business environment, Dragoș Sprîncean has made numerous important relationships in the political environment across the ocean, including with Donald Trump.
He is a member of the Republican Party of which the US President Donald Trump is also part and was one of the important sponsors of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Earlier this year, Dragoș Sprîncean met several times with Mike Waltz, Donald Trump’s national security counselor, but also with several members of the US Congress. In fact, Mike Waltz even offered a medal to Dragoș Sprînceană.
Born on April 8, 1979 in Constanța, Dragoș Sprîncean emigrated to the United States over 25 years ago, in search of the opportunities offered by the American dream. A few years ago, the Romanian Tribuna newspaper, published in Chicago, written that in teens Dragoș Sprînceană “was a model for Cătălin Botezatu, an entertainer in summer television shows, but also Salvamar and bartender on the coast”.
“We have gone through many experiences, from served in restaurants, to local and national modeling for Cătălin Botezatu, ending with a job (also on the coast) on Pro TV at the age of 20.said Dragoș Sprînceană in an interview given in the summer of 2020 to the Romanian Tribuna newspaper.
At last year’s elections, the fresh emissary appointed by Marcel Ciolacu to lobby in relation to the United States, was a supporter of Călin Georgescu, whom he even voted in the first round of the November 2024 presidential elections.
In a Facebook post on January 24, 2025, Dragoș Sprîncean acknowledged that he would vote on Călin Georgescu again, even if there were many irregularities about it: “I would like to ask a question: How would Calin Georgescu describe a day from his professional activity of the last week, month or even last years? No one knows where the source of his income comes from and what he is dealing with exactly, and this is a legitimate question. During the campaign, he did not spend 0 RON, but he has daily expenses of about 500 euros for security. Who is behind him? Can the old security competing with current structures? I leave you to draw the conclusions. I do not say that Mr. Călin Georgescu is the worst. Not far away. If I were to vote and I look at the current list probably with him I would vote because I want “something else”. Or I would not vote at all ”.
“The choice of the eyebrow is at least questionable”
At the support for Călin Georgescu, Dragoș Sprînceană is in the same line with several members of the Trump administration, including Elon Musk, who supported the sovereign and pro-Russian candidate.
“It does not seem to be neither the US nor Romania, but a personal relationship between two politicians. And it is not certain that a good personal relationship, such as between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump, has managed to change the attitude of the US president. Because in politics there is no abstraction of values. The only true political tradition of Romania, not the so-called invented traditions.is the opinion of the political scientist Cristian Pîrvulescu
Compare Macron and Merkel with Hitler
Dragoș Sprînceană had several direct attacks on the European Union on social networks. He redistributed several offensive posts on the “X” network to Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, as well as Angela Merkel. On “X”, Dragoș Sprîncean has over 7,700 followers. On April 1, he redistributed, putting some emoticons with laughter, an edited image in which the Putin and Trump presidents wore the text “F *** Macron”.
Also on April 1, Dragoș Sprîncean redistributed a post by Alex Oloyede, a pro-Putin Russian journalist, with an edited image in which Emmanuel Macron wearing a mustache similar to Hitler and the text: “The 4th Reich of Europe.” Alex Oloyede has over 221,000 followers on “X”.

The businessman of Romanian origin also compared Angela Merkel with the former Nazi leader, saying about it that “It is the female version of the Hitler look. If she doesn’t look like him, I don’t know who she does.”
On March 30, 2025, Dragoș Sprîncean redistributed a post by Alex Jones, one of the largest American conspiracy, a post in which the latter put images of a limousine from Vladimir Putin’s fleet, a limousine that jumped into the air and said that in fact France, the United Kingdom and Ukraine would be on the way of an assassin. Kremlin. In the text of the redistributed post of Alex Jones, Dragoș Sprîncean wrote: “Why is France and the United Kingdom try to start the third World War at any price?”. In January 2025, Călin Georgescu launched hallucinating theories and made extremely serious accusations against the EU and NATO, in an interview with the conspiracy Alex Jones.
And Dragoș Sprîncean criticizes France and the United Kingdom, that is precisely the two great European powers that announced their willingness to send peace troops to Ukraine and continue to support Ukraine.
“The fact that Mr. Dragos Sprînceană came against the background of a deep institutional impasse”
The reactions and posts of his eyebrow are not an exception in the galaxy of those who are part of the Maga current and who have seized the Republican Party, believes the foreign policy analyst Stefan Popescu. “There are many, but especially very well-known influences, bloggers, YouTube channel holders who have an extreme language and which constitutes in a way and the ivory of the broadcast channels of this ideological current. Unfortunately, this type of language is part of the normality of the new Republican Party and are part of normality.”says the expert.
The well -known analyst believes that the two emissaries will not influence Romania’s relationship with America too much.
“The interests of the United States of America are far too big, including in our region to believe that even people who are in a very good relationship with Donald Trump, who have given money in the election campaign, will be able to change the great guidelines and the vision of President Donald Trump and to make Romania a privileged partner in the region. The prime minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Objective I do not think we have to ignore it. Because in this context of the commercial war it is clear that the United States of America will seek, at least in terms of the European Union, to make allies within the European Union to prevent a united front. And Romania risks being one of the countries to be addressed in this regard ”says Stefan Popescu.
He also says that the Romanian authorities should collaborate much closer to Israel.
“The fact that Mr. Dragos appealed to the eyebrow should not be condemned, he comes against the background of a deep institutional impasse at this time. And then Romania clings to anything at this time. This is the big problem. I think it should be more dialogue with our friends in Israel who also think they can act, as they have given a very helpful hand. Israel and the Israeli community that has a good relationship with the Romanian state and representatives as a measure, as another way in restoring dialogue with Washington ”underlines Stefan Popescu.
