Former US president Jimmy Carter has volunteered to play the role of a peacemaker between America and North Korea.
Former US President Jimmy Carter told The New York Times newspaper on Saturday that he would be ready to travel to North Korea for peace talks, if there was a need, but the White House has not commented so far.
Carter added that he was afraid of the threats being exchanged between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and had already spoken to National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster about his readiness to travel to North Korea. Quoted from Sputnik.
Carter said that Washington should offer to send a high-level delegation to Pyongyang for peace talks.
Carter, 93, served as the 39th US president, from 1977 to 1981.
