Trump appears at Texas rally with former NBA star Rodman
Dennis Rodman's inclusion in the travelling party comes as the president seeks a face-to-face meeting with Kim Jong Un, a friend of the basketball star.
Former NBA player Dennis Rodman joined US President Donald Trump at a rally in Denton, Texas, where the president spoke at the Peterbilt Motors truck plant. Rodman, a basketball hall-of-famer, is known to have a friendly relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump, who has previously met with Kim three times, expressed his hope that Rodman could facilitate a reunion between the two leaders.
The former athlete, wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and lifting a trophy shirt, stated that he would be willing to speak with Trump about "life." When asked if he planned to visit North Korea, Rodman jokingly replied, "If you buy the ticket."
