The interior circle of American president Donald Trump was recently expressed in Romanian politics, now showing interest in the Tate brothers.
ADVERTISEMENTIt was first of all the American vice-president JD Vance who unexpected Romania unexpectedly at the Munich security conference last weekend for having allegedly undermined his democracy by canceling his presidential elections.
Then, the billionaire of South African origin, Elon Musk, went to his X platform to show his support for the ultra-nationalist presidential candidate Calin Georgescu, after the gerrymandering of the invisible campaign canceled the vote then that the Romanian authorities suspect Russian interference in the elections.
Now, Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, has been interested in Andrew Tate, an self -proclaimed misogynistic influencer facing criminal accusations in Bucharest, raising the theme of the lifting of the ban on travel against him and his Brother Tristan with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania Emil Hurezeanu to him and his brother Tristan with Romania, the Minister of Affairs foreign Emil Hurezeanu in his Munich.
No pressure, just a cat, said Romanian Minister for Foreign Affairs.
“What I discussed with Mr. Grenell was rather cordial, informal, very concentrated,” Hurezeanu told Euronews Romania on Tuesday.
“There was a meeting in the hotel when I asked him if he came to Romania,” he said. “(Grenell) added to the end that he remained interested in the fate of Tate Brothers … and we separated.”
Andrew and Tristan Tate, two nationals of the United Kingdom, were arrested in Romania in 2022 for human trafficking, sexual misconduct, money laundering and the start of an organized crime group. They denied the accusations.
In January, a court of appeal referred the case of the pair to prosecutors and they were released from a house arrest. They are not allowed to leave the country.
The Romanian authorities are currently carrying out a separate investigation into the brothers and have judged that they could be extradited to the United Kingdom, where they are sought in the context of an investigation into allegations of rape and trafficking in human beings.
Last week, a woman in the United States accused the tates of conspiring to attract her to Romania, forcing her in sex work and defamped it after testifying to the Romanian authorities.
The Tate brothers have millions of followers online, where they promote male superiority and what they call an “alpha” lifestyle.
Online and in interviews, Andrew Tate expressed a myriad of sexist opinions, saying that women “have a responsibility” to be sexually assaulted and that there was no “independent woman”.
It has been excluded from several online platforms due to the concerns that he negatively influences other users. It is still active on X, with more than 10 million followers.
The two brothers are particularly popular in the so-called “Manosphere” that some have credited for playing a role in the re-election of Trump.
In November, Tristan Tate boasted that the brothers played a decisive role in bringing Trump to the White House, displaying on X according to which “millions of young men in Europe and the United States have a healthy approach to politics On the right they would not have so Andrew Tate had never appeared on their phone screens. ”

The sudden interest in their policy has intrigued the Romanians, but we still do not know why Trump’s main allies have all become very frank on the Eastern European country in a very short period of time.
In addition to Musk and Vance, Grenell and Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr, have also publicly criticized the Romanian authorities in recent months.
Earlier this month, Grenell wrote that Romania was the “last example” of how the funds distributed by the USAID were “armed against people and politicians who were not awake”.
Trump Jr supported Vance in disagreement with the decision of the Constitutional Court of Romania to cancel the presidential election in which Georgescu drew relatively unknown at the top of the vote.
ADVERTISEMENTThe court made the decision after emerging that a campaign on social networks suspected of having been organized by the Kremlin artificially supported Georgescu’s score.
Vance said during the weekend that the cancellation of the vote was based on “fragile suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors”.
Georgescu, who said that he was planning to appear again in the replay of the vote, denied that he had been helped by an external network and said that he had spent any money on his electoral campaign.
