It also claims that Mr Trump's special envoy Richard Grenell personally met Romania's foreign minister, although Mr Grenell said he had "no substantive conversation" with Emil Hurezeanu and there was no follow-up.
Donald Trump's administration has reportedly made multiple attempts to pressurise Romania to lift travel restrictions on Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who are facing a series of criminal charges in the country.
Meanwhile, Tristan Tate also referenced the same claim in a post on X calling on supporters to find out "if any USAID went to Romania to fund any particular Lawfare base investigations".
Romania has also been targeted by vice president JD Vance, who last week criticised the decision of the country's top court to cancel Romania's elections because of accusations of Russian meddling.
A recent lawsuit filed in Florida accuses both Tate brothers of conspiring to coerce a woman into sex work, luring her to Romania and defaming her after her testimony to Romanian authorities.
