The Trump administration reportedly pressured Romania to ease travel restrictions on Andrew and Tristan Tate, who face serious charges, including human trafficking and rape, according to The Financial Times.

U.S. officials, including former envoy Richard Grenell, allegedly urged Romanian authorities to return their passports. Grenell, a vocal supporter of the Tates, criticized USAID programs targeting them.
