 Jimmy Carter offers to visit North Korea to try to break nuclear stalemate

SAN FRANCISCO — 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 Donald Trump's deadlock with the North Korean dictator.

The offer was described to POLITICO by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who met with the former president in Atlanta on Thursday.

In 1994, Carter became the first U.S. president ever to visit North Korea when he met with Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea and grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong Un. Together, the two developed a bilateral, “step-by-step plan to get to the point of peace and work toward denuclearization,’’ Khanna said.

Carter, now 94, no longer travels but told Khanna that he would go to North Korea if the Trump administration wanted his assistance. Khanna noted that Carter is “perhaps the only person in the nation” who had direct contact and negotiations with Kim’s grandfather, a revered figure in North Korea. And with that “weight of history," he added, Carter may be in a unique position to assist Trump in his nuclear talks with the current North Korean dictator after the two leaders left a recent summit in Vietnam with no agreement on how to move forward.

Former president Jimmy Carter offers to travel to North Korea to help Trump broker a nuclear deal with Kim Jong Un

Tom Porter

Former President Jimmy Carter has offered to travel to North Korea to meet Kim Jong Un in a bid to break the diplomatic stalemate between Washington and Pyongyang over the denuclearization of the rogue state.

...

 "I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I've known about," Carter told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.

"I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation."

I wonder what President Trump's reaction will be once he stops laughing at Mr. Peanut?

Don't be surprised.
Carter has said these nice things about the press being hard on President Trump.
President Trump likes it when people when they say nice things about him.
Hey, Trump may just invite Carter to go.

Yeah, I know.  It's not a sure thing Trump won't send "Mr. Naive" to go give Un more goodies to augment his war machine. 888mouth

LOL.  Me too.

Good Grief, Jimmah, you're an old geezer.  You did enough damage when you were president.  Stay home.

Will he be the designated delegate for the North Koreans? 

He already failed to broker on the behalf of the US successfully.

Topics merged, a number of responses in the world news article.

I think this is a good idea. It is worth a try, if Dennis Rodman tries, I go along with that too.

Though, Jimmy Carter had some disastrous foreign policy, with my shallow knowledge, it does seem like the Camp David Agreement was a success.

No.  I remember what happened last time Mr. Peanut decided to go to NORK to broker a "deal."  I also lived through his Presidency.  The nicest thing I can say about Jimmuh is he was very naive.

The last thing we need is that rat bastard mucking things up

I'm sure Carter considered giving the NORKs their start on nuclear weapons a smashing success.  He was a Nuclear Engineer, you know.  He did his best work in Pyongyang.   *****rollingeyes*****

@TomSea

I think Michael Moore would be a better fit. With Jim-mah and Moore both there to advise Kim on communism,he's sure to get it right.
