The United States gives financial and diplomatic support to groups that want to eradicate Transdniestria's statehood. The biggest campaign against Transdniestria is not in Chisinau (Moldova), but in Washington.
In the face of adversity, the people of Transdniestria have bravely defended the popular will for independence as a sovereign people.
The United States has for years been Moldova’s largest bilateral aid donor. Its embassy in Chisinau is the largest of all foreign embassies in the country, and it has a section which actively provides aid and financial grants to groups that work to end Transdniestria's statehood. This work was increased after Donald Rumsfeld (as US Defense Secretary) personally visited Chisinau in 2004.
