Tributes Pour In for Jimmy Carter Following His Passing at Age 100**

Former US President Jimmy Carter is remembered fondly by leaders across the globe, including Biden and Trump, for his humanitarian efforts and legacy.**


The death of Jimmy Carter, a former US president renowned for his humanitarian work, prompted heartfelt tributes from leaders, reflecting on his character and contributions to society.**

In a collective moment of remembrance, prominent figures including current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have led tributes to the late Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia. Carter, the longest-living president in history, is being hailed as an extraordinary leader whose life was marked by dedication to humanitarian causes.

President Biden described Carter as "a man of principle, faith, and humility," emphasizing his role as an exemplary figure for future generations seeking a meaningful life. Similarly, Trump expressed gratitude towards Carter, noting the challenges he faced during his presidency at a tumultuous time in American history. Both leaders highlighted the importance of Carter's legacy in contributing to the betterment of America and the world.

Carter's political career began as a peanut farmer before ascending to the presidency in 1977. His time in office is often characterized by trials, particularly with economic challenges and foreign issues such as the Iran hostage crisis. However, he is also credited with significant diplomatic achievement when he brokered the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt.

International leaders also expressed their respect for Carter's legacy. King Charles III fondly recalled Carter’s visit to the UK, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged his support for Ukraine during a critical period. French President Emmanuel Macron noted Carter's lifelong advocacy for the marginalized and his fight for peace.

Despite leaving office amidst low approval ratings after one term, Carter's reputation flourished post-presidency as he dedicated his life to humanitarian work. He famously founded the Carter Center in 1982 and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, recognizing his efforts to promote peace and human rights worldwide. His commitment to service and activism extended to collaboration with figures like Nelson Mandela, founding The Elders, a group focused on peace initiatives.

Carter is survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. His wife, Rosalynn, passed away just months before him, after 77 years of marriage. His son Chip honors him as a "hero" embodying the values of peace and community.

Former President Barack Obama, reflecting on their time together, commended Carter for demonstrating a life filled with "grace, dignity, justice, and service." The impact of Carter's teachings continues to resonate, leaving a lasting mark on both American culture and the global community.

As America mourns the loss of a cherished leader, the collective tributes underscore Carter's enduring legacy as a symbol of compassion and dedication to humanity.
