Carter Offers to Visit North Korea Amid Stalemate

March 8, 2019 · 8:33 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Former President Jimmy Carter — who once brokered a nuclear agreement with Kim Jong Un’s grandfather in the 1990s — is offering to travel to North Korea to try and break President Trump’s deadlock with the North Korean dictator,” Politico reports.

“The prospect that Trump would align himself with his Democratic predecessor seems remote. The normally reserved ex-president has challenged Trump, sayingthat he would ‘change all of the policies’ Trump has instituted if he could, and describing his presidency as a ‘disaster.’ And while Trump has not made Carter a target while in office, he has previously chided Carter for ostensibly being a pushover.”
