00:06.730 --> 00:08.920
first time ever . This is also the

00:08.930 --> 00:11.152
first time the B 52 bomber has operated

00:11.152 --> 00:13.180
out of Romania . Our historic

00:13.239 --> 00:15.461

00:15.461 --> 00:18.260
resilience of the US Romania alliance

00:18.780 --> 00:20.891
and our shared commitment to regional
