Dennis Rodman Reveals Obama 'IGNORED' Him On North Korea Amid Trump-kim Summit by Dlee1(m): 7:28am On Jun 12, 2018 |
FORMER NBA player Dennis Rodman launched into an emotional speech on TV over the Trump-Kim summit, in which he made the shocking revelation that he had attempted to deliver messages from Kim Jong-un to former president Barack Obama but was rejected and not given the “time of the day”. Speaking from Singapore, during the historic summit, Mr Rodman, who turned to advocate for North Korea in recent years, opened up about his personal friendship with Kim and his struggle to be taken seriously by the former US leader. Wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, Mr Rodman recalled his first trip to North Korea in 2013. He said: “I was very naive when I went over there. “I thought I was just going to play basketball. He added: “Just meeting the regime, meeting Kim Jong-un and the marshalls, I just fell in love with the country from day one.” The ex-NBA player then started getting emotional as he spoke about former US president Barack Obama. “Obama didn’t even give me the time of day,” he said. “I asked him — I said I have something to say from North Korea. He just brushed me off. But that didn’t deter me. He added, choking up: “When I said those damn things, when I went back home. “I got so many death threats." During the interview, Mr Rodman also recalled a conversation he claims to have had with Kim Jong-un when he promisedhim he would bring a group of NBA players to Pyongyang to play a game for his birthday. When Mr Rodman and the team arrived in Pyongyang, he said Kim told him: “This is the first time someone kept my word to me and my country.” The former NBA player also described the North Korean leader as “a big kid, even though he’s small, but he loves to have a good time". He added: “This guy wants to be around the world. "He wants to come to America, he wants to enjoy his life.” Rodman confirmed in the interview with CNN the White House reached out to him when he arrived in Singapore to thank him for his role in reaching out to North Korea. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/972932/Trump-Kim-summit-Dennis-Rodman-reveals-president-obama-ignored-North-Korea
