Chrissie Hynde has appealed to Donald Trump to drop US charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
In a series of tweets directly addressed to Trump, the Pretenders frontwoman urged the importance of unity, regardless of political differences.
She began by referencing the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, to whom Trump recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Dear Mr President, I often think of how much my father, Melville Bud Hynde, who proudly served his country as a Marine on Guadalcanal, would have enjoyed your Presidency, Hynde wrote.

Just remind him of the fact that Assange helped get Trump elected.
