Former President Jimmy Carter is expected to travel to North Korea “very soon” in the hopes of securing the release of a Korean-American man who’s been imprisoned there, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported Sunday.
Carter’s planned trip to the so-called “hermit kingdom” will be a rescue mission to negotiate the release of Kenneth Bae, who was arrested in November. In what was presumably his first interview since his arrest, Bae told Tokyo-based Choson Sinbo earlier this month that he wants the United States to “try harder” to win his release.
