The White House said on Monday that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced that he will step down in the coming months after nine years in power, has been a "stalwart friend" of the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump contributed to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's downfall with his proposed 25% tariff and mocking the prime minister as the "governor" of the "Great State of Canada.

Amid the energy crisis of the 1970s, President Jimmy Carter hoped to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.

Carter was born Oct. 1, 1924, to a prominent family in rural south Georgia. He went on to the U.S. Naval Academy during World War II and pursued a career as a Cold War Naval officer before returning to Georgia with Rosalynn and their young family to take over the family peanut business after Earl Carter’s death in the 1950s.

Jimmy Carter, the centenarian former president who lived long enough to see Donald Trump elected again but died just before the start of the new year, has a foreign policy legacy that wasn't just defined by his four years in the White House.
