President Donald Trump is asking whether three UCLA basketball players released from detention in China will thank him. Trump said he raised their case with China’s president when he visited Xi Jinping in Beijing last week. Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley returned to Los Angeles on Tuesday and ignored questions from reporters. Trump returned late Tuesday from a trip through Asia and tweeted Wednesday: “Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? Basketball league commissioner Larry Scott has thanked Trump, the White House and the State Department for their efforts.
