Romanian president appoints new prime minister after no-confidence vote

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday appointed Ludovic Orban, leader of the main opposition National Liberal Party, as prime minister, after the cabinet led by the Social Democratic Party collapsed in a no-confidence vote on Thursday.
