Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, now widely celebrated for his decades of public service, is being honored globally for bridging political divides and championing humanitarian causes. Tributes highlight his post-presidency work combating diseases and advocating for housing equity through Habitat for Humanity 🏡, earning him the nickname 'America’s Grandpa of Goodwill.'
During his presidency (1977–1981), Carter brokered the historic Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel ✍️, negotiated the Panama Canal Treaties, and established full diplomatic relations with the Chinese mainland. His focus on human rights reshaped U.S. foreign policy, though critics debated his handling of economic challenges.
CGTN’s Jim Spellman notes Carter’s unique post-office journey: 'He traded summits for solar panels, building homes alongside volunteers long after leaving power.' 🌟 The 39th president’s humility and global health initiatives—like eradicating Guinea worm disease—remain benchmarks for leadership beyond politics.
