The White House has stated that U.S.President Donald Trump will not intervene in the extradition proceedings involving Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, who are wanted in the United Kingdom to face a combined total of 59 criminal charges, including rape, sex trafficking and assault.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration has no plans to interfere with the legal process, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio also emphasized that the U.S.has no role in deciding the extradition request.The Tate brothers were detained in Miami after British prosecutors announced new charges against them.

Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, argued that the case is politically motivated and said the brothers will challenge extradition while maintaining their innocence.

Andrew and Tristan Tate have publicly supported Donald Trump and have been associated with the online 'manosphere,' which has been described as influential among some conservative voters.Reports have also indicated that Andrew Tate previously sought relationships with members of Trump's family.In addition to the U.K.case, the brothers continue to face separate criminal allegations in Romania involving trafficking minors, sexual offences involving a minor and money laundering, allegations they deny.

Florida authorities also opened a criminal investigation into the brothers in 2025, although the current status of that investigation remains unclear.The case now proceeds through the U.S.legal system, where courts will determine whether the extradition request should move forward.
