The United States begins a six-day mourning period for former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100. The ceremonies start in Plains, Georgia, where a procession will take the body from the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center to Carter’s family peanut farm. Notably, former Secret Service agents will serve as pallbearers. His body will later be taken to Atlanta for viewing before the state funeral on January 9, which has been designated a national day of mourning by President Joe Biden. Controversy arises from Donald Trump’s remarks regarding the mourning period.
