The Trump administration will not block the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate to the UK to face sex crime charges, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, adding there was no role for the White House in the matter.
The brothers were arrested in Miami on Saturday by US marshals after the Crown Prosecution Service announced 38 additional charges. Andrew Tate faces seven further counts of rape, three counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and 19 charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Tristan Tate was charged with two counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and three counts of arranging sex trafficking. The CPS said the alleged offences took place between July 2010 and August 2017.
The pair also face separate allegations of trafficking minors, sexual abuse and money laundering in Romania. Florida launched a criminal investigation into the brothers in March 2025.
