Three UCLA basketball players who were arrested for shoplifting in China thanked President Trump on Wednesday for intervening on their behalf with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
All three freshmen players — LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill, and Cody Riley — offered their gratitude to Trump and the U.S. government at a press conference Wednesday, during which they expressed remorse for stealing sunglasses from a high-end store in Hangzhou, China.

The other two teammates echoed Riley’s statement.
