Former US President Jimmy Carter, 93, interviewed by New York Times reporter Maureen Dowd, said he was willing to go on a diplomatic mission to North Korea on behalf of President Donald Trump at a time of growing tensions between the two countries on the issue of nuclear weapons.
Answering a question about his possible willingness to travel to Pyongyang on a diplomatic mission to meet the unpredictable Kim Jong-un, Carter, who in the past had met with North Korean leaders, replied "yes, I would go."
The former president confessed to being "scared" "by the current situation:" I don't know what they will do ", he commented," because they want to save their regime. And we greatly overestimate China's influence on North Korea. In particular on Kim Jong-un, who as far as I know has never been to China ”.
