‘I have it for him. They didn’t give it,’ Trump said of the rumoured gift for the North Korean leader
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he did, in fact, plan to give North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a CD with the Elton John song “Rocket Man,” as well as another mystery gift “at a certain period”.
Trump’s remarks, which he made in a brief exchange with reporters before departing on a week-long trip to Europe, followed a report last week by a South Korean newspaper that Trump had asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to deliver a copy of the CD to Kim during a trip to Pyongyang last week.
“I have it for him. They didn’t give it,” Trump told reporters when asked about the CD. “But it will be given at a certain period – I actually do, I actually do have a little gift for him, but you’ll find out what that gift is when I give it.”
A representative for John did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
