Trump Distances Himself from Andrew Tate Extradition to US: ‘I Know Nothing’

President Donald Trump distanced himself from Andrew and Christian Tate, who are charged with human trafficking in Romania, after they arrived in Florida.

The Trump administration reportedly pressured Romania to allow the Tate brothers, who faced criminal charges of sexual misconduct in the European country, to leave to the United States. A spokesperson said the brothers landed in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday.

President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, reportedly raised their case during a hallway exchange with Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu at the Munich Security Conference earlier this month.

“We have no involvement in that,” Governor Ron DeSantis said of the Tates during a press conference. “I read about it through the media. Clearly, the federal government has jurisdiction. Whether they want to rebuff his entry into the United States, and I have confidence that — whether it’s Pam Bondi or Kristi Noem — that they will be looking at that.”

During a meeting in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump was asked by reporters whether his administration pressured the Romanian government to allow them to travel to the U.S. The president responded by claiming, “I know nothing about that. I don’t know.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took a more aggressive approach when addressing the issue of the Tate brothers by noting that human trafficking “is a security risk.”
