ATLANTA (AP) Former President Jimmy Carter says he prays that President Donald Trump will "keep our country at peace" and avoid military action involving North Korea, Syria or Russia.
The 93-year-old's remarks come after Trump said he's considering military action against Syria in response to a suspected chemical attack on civilians. Russia has countered that such a move would have "grave repercussions."
Carter made his comments as he touted a new book "Faith: A Journey for All" in an interview that touched on issues from Trump and the economy to factional disputes within American Christianity.
A lifelong Democrat, Carter has been critical of Trump, a Republican, on a number of fronts, and he said "a lot of people" have "realized they made a mistake" supporting Trump.
