BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's foreign minister said he had not come under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy to lift restrictions on social media influencer Andrew Tate, who faces human trafficking charges, despite them discussing the case.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who hold dual US and British citizenship, are currently under investigation in Romania for alleged involvement in organised crime, human trafficking, and sexual offences, including intercourse with a minor and money laundering. They deny all accusations.

The Trump administration has pushed Romania to lift travel restrictions on Andrew Tate, the controversial influencer facing charges of rape and human trafficking, the Financial Times reported.

So, okay, that’s one potential explanation of what happened to the Tates. The United States government, through a series of funds indirectly directed to Romania, successfully influenced the nation’s law enforcement apparatus to pursue anti-woke personalities and charge them with fake crimes in order to make an example of them.

They've spoken out over concerns the US government is interfering with the Tate brothers' upcoming trial in Romania
