Carter, a Democrat, became president in January 1977, and his one-term presidency was marked by the 1978 Camp David accords between Israel and Egypt, bringing some stability to the Middle East.
America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian," Biden said in a statement Sunday, underscoring the profound global impact of Carter's leadership and humanitarian efforts.
Carter spent his long post-presidential career devoted to humanitarian work, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, reflecting his commitment to peace and service.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz remarked that with the death of Carter, "the US has lost a committed fighter for democracy. The world has lost a great mediator for peace in the Middle East."
