When President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meet in Singapore on June 12, a celebrity guest might be present: Dennis Rodman, one of only a few people to have met both Trump and Kim. Volo said Rodman and Kim get along because they both love sports and music. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un talks with former NBA player Dennis Rodman as they watch an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang on Jan. 8, 2014. Warmbier was medically evacuated from North Korea and returned home with severe brain damage. Eighteen years ago, at the end of an official visit to North Korea, then-Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright brought an unexpected gift, proffering a basketball signed by Michael Jordan for Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un’s father.
