Romania’s foreign minister says he didn’t feel pressured by Donald Trump’s envoy to lift restrictions on Andrew Tate, despite reports that U.S. officials raised the case.

The Financial Times claims a request was made to return the Tate brothers' passports and let them travel while awaiting trial. Tate, who faces human trafficking charges, has long been a polarising figure.
