Three UCLA basketball players thank Donald Trump

"I take full responsibility for the mistakes I have made, shoplifting," Riley told reporters. “I know that this goes beyond me letting my school down. I let the entire country down.”

Three UCLA basketball players have thanked Donald Trump for his help in obtaining their release from a Chinese jail.

The players, who had been detained in China on suspicion of shoplifting, admitted on Wednesday they stole items from three stores.

LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill remain suspended from the University of California, Los Angeles, basketball team indefinitely, coach Steve Alford told a news conference.

All three apologised and thanked Trump for helping secure their release by raising the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit, in their first public comments since being detained.

Trump on Wednesday morning said the players should be grateful for his involvement.

"Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!" he wrote on Twitter.

The three basketball players were detained by police on November 7 in the Chinese city of Hangzhou over allegations of shoplifting and faced charges by Chinese authorities

They were not on the team's return flight to the United States on Saturday and instead landed at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight from Shanghai on Tuesday evening.

UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said the students were released by Chinese police after paying $2,200 bail.

Guerrero said White House Chief of Staff John Kelly called the students over the weekend to assure them that the government was working on their release.

Chinese Foreign Ministry officials said the case had been resolved according to law.

The UCLA team had been in China for a game against Georgia Tech in Shanghai on Saturday, which UCLA won 63-60. The teams had traveled to Hangzhou earlier in the week.

The three students, all freshmen, were taken in for questioning by police about alleged shoplifting from a Louis Vuitton store, sources previously told Reuters.

Guerrero said the Chinese police said items were taken from three stores and searched the hotel rooms and bags of players on both the UCLA and Georgia teams before identifying the players as suspects.

But that’s what ended up happening, and it was in 2017 that the process really began. Industrial strategy was the first step. Theresa May’s government decided that Britain’s ever-increasing trade deficit was a luxury that the UK, as an independent nation, could no longer afford. Already in 2016 Philip Hammond had begun to deviate from decades of Treasury orthodoxy by announcing £23 billion of investments into infrastructure, skills and research.
