On Thursday, President Donald Trump again called for Sweden to release rapper A$AP Rocky, who has been in prison in the country for nearly a month.

“Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States. I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers. Treat Americans fairly! #FreeRocky” Trump tweeted. In a follow-up tweet, he said the prime minister wasn’t “really unable to act” but that “he just doesn’t want to, especially since it angers you.”
