Former Acting Defense Secretary says the U.S. and China are at a "tipping point"

Following multiple hospital stays, former President Jimmy Carter decided to forego treatment and spend his remaining time at home with his family. "After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention," the charity, created by Carter and his wife Rosalynn in 1982, said in a statement. The charity said he has the support of his care team and his family, who are asking for privacy. Carter's grandson, former Georgia state Sen. Jason Carter, said in a tweet he saw his grandparents on Friday. "They are at peace and—as always—their home is full of love," he said. Carter announced in 2015 he had been diagnosed with cancer found during a surgery on his liver, a form of melanoma that spread to his brain. After several months, Carter said he was no longer receiving treatments and that his scans showed no more signs of cancer. He was also treated for a pelvic fracture resulting from a fall in 2019.
