Business Insider/Reuters: Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter says he would travel to North Korea on a diplomatic mission

* Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said he would be willing to travel to North Korea on a diplomatic mission.
* "I told him that I was available if they ever need me," Carter allegedly told National Security Adviser Lt.-Gen. H. R. McMaster.
* In the mid-1990s, Carter travelled to Pyongyang and struck a deal with Kim Il Sung, grandfather of the current leader.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said he would be willing to travel to North Korea on behalf of the Trump administration to help diffuse rising tensions, The New York Times reported on its website on Sunday.

"I would go, yes," Carter, 93, told the Times when he was asked in an interview at his ranch house in Plains, Georgia whether it was time for another diplomatic mission and whether he would do so for President Trump.

Carter, a Democrat who was president from 1977 to 1981, said he had spoken to Trump's National Security Adviser Lt.-Gen. H. R. McMaster, who is a friend, but so far has gotten a negative response.

"I told him that I was available if they ever need me,” the Times quoted Carter as saying.
