Former President Jimmy Carter could be offering to travel to North Korea following the breakdown of talks in Vietnam between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.
Carter, 94, who met North Korea founder Kim Il Sung in 1994 in a historic encounter that eased nuclear tensions, could be making the trip to resolve the impasse between the two countries, according to Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Politico reported.
Khanna said Carter's credentials as a North Korea negotiator could be invaluable after the U.S.-North Korea summit collapse.
Carter once developed a bilateral "step-by-step plan to get to the point of peace and work toward denuclearization," with Kim Jong Un's grandfather, Khanna said.
There was no response from the White House on the possible Carter trip, according to Politico.
