WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven had assured him American citizen and rapper A$AP Rocky would be treated fairly.

Trump said he assured Lofven that Rocky was not a flight risk and personally vouched for his bail.

Swedish prosecutors on Friday extended Rocky's detention by six days amid their investigation into a street fight in Stockholm.
