The 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested on Jul 3 along with three other people, following a brawl in Stockholm on June 30. Mayers said he was acting in self-defense.

Trump has already suggested paying bail for Mayers, despite Sweden not having bail in its justice system.He has also repeatedly tried to persuade Lofven to intervene, despite the premier's reminder that the courts are independent from political leaders in Sweden -- as they are in the United States. "Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn't seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem!" Trump said.
