Trump Consults Dennis Rodman on Potential North Korea Summit Plans

A source familiar with Dennis Rodman’s schedule and White House travel arrangements told The Post that the former NBA champion is being consulted by Donald Trump on how to restart dialogue with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after the recent midterm elections. Rodman, who has cultivated a personal friendship with Kim since a 2013 basketball-themed visit to the Hermit Kingdom, believes he can serve as a bridge of goodwill between the two nations.

Trump is said to be seeking Rodman’s input while planning a mid-November trip to China and possibly the Philippines for ASEAN and APEC meetings, which could include a stop-over to see Kim. North Korean officials have previously dismissed U.S. overtures to abandon their nuclear program as futile. The article notes Rodman's colorful past, from a wedding-dress promotion to a suspended game for assaulting a photographer, and references his earlier appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice, which sparked his long-standing connection with Trump.
