U.S. President Donald Trump has sent through his envoy, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the 1972 Elton John song, "Rocket Man," to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, reports said Friday.
Trump asked Kim during their June 12 summit in Singapore if he knew of John's song and Kim said no, Chosun Ilbo newspaper said, quoting unnamed sources in Washington.U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pomepo is in Japan on his way to Pyongyang. AP
Trump derided Kim as "little rocket man" in his tweets after North Korea launched a series of missiles last year at the height of tension between the two countries. Kim then called Trump a dotard.
Pompeo was also reported to be carrying a personal letter from trump to Kim. It would be Pompeo' third visit to the North and the first since the Singapore summit, with the mission of putting the North's denuclearization pledge on a more concrete footing.
Meanwhile, the song's lyrics are about an astronaut on a mission to Mars, describing Earth and his wife as two things he would most miss. It sounds quite mundane, despite the rather exotic subject.
