He presented his credentials to President Nicolae Timofti on January 30, 2015.[6] TenureIn 2018 Pettit announced support the United States would provide Moldova in economic development as Moldova embraced government reforms and sought to eliminate corruption. The country has been known as a money laundering haven. [7] [8] Pettit has commented on Moldova–Romania relations, noting that Moldova has its own history as well as independence since 1991. His remarks were taken negatively by those who prefer a Unification of Romania and Moldova. Many Moldovans obtain dual citizenship with Romania to have access to the EU. Pettit, in remarks celebrating the 25 anniversary of Moldovan independence, said Moldova should "remain a sovereign, independent state." [9] Personal lifeIn 1981 Pettit married Nancy Bikoff Pettit, current U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Latvia. The couple have two grown children.[10] See also{{Portal|United States}}
