Following the death of Jimmy Carter, who served as US president from 1977 until 1981, Tony Blair offered this tribute:
“Jimmy Carter's life was a testament to public service – from his time in office and the Camp David Accords, to his remarkable commitment to the cause of people and peace around the world for the past 40 years.
“I have always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.”
