Moldova to name new power line after Donald Trump
The 70km electricity link is expected to strengthen Moldova's energy infrastructure and improve connections with neighbouring Romania.
Moldova plans to name a new power line connecting it with Romania after former US President Donald Trump, according to a proposal from the US Embassy, sources revealed on Wednesday. The US-backed 400kV power line, which will receive $130 million in financing from Washington, will be called "Trump Liberty Line," government spokesperson Dumitru Ciorici confirmed to AFP. The project aims to bolster Moldova's energy security and strengthen its infrastructure, the government stated.
The US Embassy announced the formation of a working group for the "Trump Liberty Line" on Facebook on Tuesday, describing it as a significant advancement for Moldova's energy future. The initiative, which received $130 million in funding from the US government in 2025, is expected to be approximately 70 kilometers long within Moldova and is slated for completion in 2032.
Prime Minister Vasile Tofan emphasized the importance of the new power line, which will facilitate energy transmission between Moldova and its neighbor Romania. In Romania, a park in the capital Bucharest is also slated to be renamed after Trump, following an online poll where it garnered the most votes. However, some online media outlets raised concerns about potential vote manipulation.
