Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100, according to a statement from The Carter Center.
The 39th president began receiving hospice care at his home in Georgia in February 2023, according to a statement from The Carter Center. He became the oldest living president in history after George H.W. Bush died in 2018 at the age of 94.
Carter, a peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, who served in the US Navy, was president from 1977 to 1981.
Championing human rights at the center of US foreign policy, Carter forged a still-standing peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. He also established the Department of Energy in 1977.
Shortly after, Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, established The Carter Center, which has monitored international elections and promoted public health across the world
