Dennis Rodman Cries from Joy over Donald Trump, North Korea Summit

Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman was moved to tears Tuesday over the summit between United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

As seen in the following interview with CNN, Rodman called it a "great day" and cried tears of joy:

Per CNN's Kevin Liptak, the meeting between Trump and Kim resulted in Kim signing a document that "reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." However, no specific plan or timeline was set forth for the denuclearization.

Rodman donned a "Make America Great Again" hat during Tuesday's interview in support of Trump and grew emotional when talking about receiving death threats and going into hiding after previously traveling to North Korea to meet with Kim.

The five-time NBA champion has traveled to North Korea on numerous occasions to hold basketball exhibitions, and he has struck up a friendship with Kim in the process.

He also has a history with Trump as Rodman appeared on his Celebrity Apprentice reality television show in 2009.

Following his interview with CNN, Rodman told the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com) that he received a call from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "She sent her best wishes and said that Donald Trump is really proud of you. He's happy you're having some type of part of this whole situation. He's very happy to carry out the things I've been saying."

Rodman added that he expects to meet with Trump soon on the subject, saying, "I'm pretty sure that I'll be going somewhere, like the White House to meet him."
