Former President and Democrat who led the country from 1977 to 1981, said that he discussed it with his friend, the adviser of the President of trump national security by Herbert McMaster, but so far has refused.

«I told him that I’m always willing to help if they need me,» said Carter. «I am also afraid of the situation», — he added.

The former President called the leader of North Korea «unpredictable» and said that he is likely to commit any proactive action, out of fear that trump will be taken against him. In addition, the United States is clearly overestimate the impact of China on North Korea, said Carter.

The former President believes that advanced nuclear weapons, which came from the DPRK, could destroy the Korean Peninsula and Japan, as well as some of the surrounding U.S. territories in the Pacific. Perhaps it is enough in order to strike at the U.S. mainland, suggests Carter.
