Former US President Jimmy Carter has offered to meet with Kim Jong Un in a last-ditch attempt to prevent another Korean war.
Park said Carter wants to prevent a second Korean War.
Hopefully, it's not too late; also we can only hope that the current occupant of the White House doesn't sabotage Mr. Carter out of pure pique.

(189 posts)Here's a former president, aged 93 and melanoma cancer-survivor, who is offering his bona fide and time-honed skills to help solve a vital world problem, without ego and without attacking Trump (not that he doesn't deserve every kind of criticism). I hope Trump taps this venerable soldier for peace, though I doubt that he will.
