Donald Trump has suggested that he is willing to pay A$AP Rocky's bail to release the US rapper from custody in Sweden.

ASAP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, is being held in the Scandinavian nation following an alleged fight in Stockholm.

"....Our teams will be talking further, and we agreed to speak again in the next 48 hours!"
