Why is Trump pressuring Romania to go soft on accused rapist Andrew Tate?
Despite his repeated claims that he is in favor of law and order, Donald Trumps administration is pressuring the Romanian government to roll back travel restrictions on right-wing influencer Andrew Tate, who has been accused of rape and human trafficking.
Tate is currently under house arrest following his 2023 arrest. Tate and his brother, Tristan, along with two other figures, have been accused of luring women to their home, forcing the women into debt, and pressuring them into filming pornographic scenes that were then shared online. They deny the charges.
The men are also facing similar charges in the United Kingdom.
The women who have made the allegations against Tate have spoken out against Trumps efforts. Matthew Jury, the lawyer representing the four alleged victims, told the BBC they are absolutely bewildered why the Trump administration has decided to interfere in this way.
