USA LIVE: Jimmy Carter’s body to lie in state at U.S. Capitol Rotunda as Congress members pay respects | CNBC TV18
Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, and others will arrive at the U.S. Capitol Tuesday for President Jimmy Carter’s lying-in-state ceremony.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver one of the eulogies for Carter following his death on December 29 at the age of 100.
Funeral services for Jimmy Carter continued today with a service at the US Capitol Rotunda, where Senate majority leader John Thune, House speaker Mike Johnson and vice-president Kamala Harris delivered eulogies. In her speech, Harris touched on the late Democratic president’s progressive accomplishments as Republicans prepare to take over the statehouse in under two weeks.
At a press conference convened at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Donald Trump signaled that he was serious about the United States gaining control over Greenland, the Panama Canal and Canada. He refused to rule out using military force to put Washington in charge of the two former areas, but said “economic force” could be used to merge with the US’s northern neighbor. He also proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”. In response, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau said there’s not “a snowball’s chance in hell” of Canada merging with the US and Greenland’s prime minister Múte B Egede said “Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland.”
