Tyrant gets Rocket from his new pal

- BY CHRISTOPHE­R BUCKTIN US Editor

NORTH Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-Un is to receive a gift of Elton John’s hit Rocket Man...from US President Trump.

The tongue-in-cheek present will be delivered by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo when he meets Kim for talks.

Before their historic summit last month, Mr Trump had called Kim “little rocket man” as the pair traded insults.

Mr Pompeo is visiting North Korea to follow-up the Singapore meeting in June on denucleari­sation.

“There’s much hard work ahead but peace is worth it,” Mr Pompeo tweeted. He is set to ask for the remains of US soldiers killed during the Korean War to be returned.
