WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at Sweden's prime minister and demanded freedom for US rapper A$AP Rocky after a Swedish court said the star would be tried on assault charges.
"Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Lofven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States," Trump tweeted, adding: "Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM."
The 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested on July 3 along with three other people, following a brawl in Stockholm on June 30. Mayers said he was acting in self-defense.
