The Democrat former peanut farmer, who served one term in the White House from 1977 to 1981 and dedicated the rest of his life to charity, decided against more medical treatment and entered hospice in February 2023 after a string of hospital stays. At 100 years old, he was the longest-lived former president in America’s history. Carter's four years as president were blighted by an oil crisis that forced Americans to line up for gas and the Iran hostage situation that stretched into the final moments of his administration before Ronald Reagan took over.

Donald Trump is reiterating his threat to impose steep tariffs on Canadian goods if the federal government doesn't take action on border security — and a former official from his first administration says the U.S. president-elect isn't bluffing. "I'm a big believer in tariffs. I think tariffs are the most beautiful word.... It's going to make us rich," Trump said on NBC's that aired on Sunday. The president-elect continued to extol the power of tariffs and said they're "a powerful tool not only economically, but also for getting other things outside of economics." As an example, Trump referred to his threat to on products from Canada and Mexico unless they curb the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. Four days after the threat was issued, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a surprise dinner. The president-elect joked about the saga in his NBC interview. "In fact, [Trudeau] flew to Mar-a-Lago within about 15 seconds after the call," Trump said. The president-elect also said he told Trudeau that Canada has to "close up" its border and that "drugs are pouring in at levels never seen before." "And I said to the president of Mexico and to Justin Trudeau, if it doesn't stop, I'm going to put tariffs on your country at about 25 per cent," Trump said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dined with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump in late November. Trump described the meeting as 'very productive' on his social media platform Truth Social. (@JustinTrudeau/X) Ken Cuccinelli, a former official in the Department of Homeland Security during Trump's first administration, said the president-elect's tariff threat is "very serious" given the issues at hand. "And I think one of the things that people around the world know about Donald Trump is that he will follow through with things like this," Cuccinelli said in an interview on that aired Sunday. When asked what he thinks can be done to protect the Canada-U.S. border, Cuccinelli said that he "wouldn't expect the president to give the prime minister a checklist." The goal isn't "zero illegal crossings," he added. Instead, it's about driving them down to "the point where it's not worth people trying to, for example, come to Canada as a way to get into the United States." What Trump specifically in exchange for removing his tariff threat still isn't clear, according to Canadian officials familiar with the details of the surprise dinner in Florida. The federal government in the wake of the Trudeau-Trump meeting, including adding more helicopters and drones to tighten up monitoring of the Canada-U.S. border. David Cohen, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Canada, said the Biden administration has not proposed a 25 per cent across-the-board tariff because of concerns it would contribute to inflation and lead to job losses in both countries. "I think in the end, the value of that from a trade perspective is not going to be very compelling," he told Rosemary Barton. Cohen also said there's a "pretty clear window" for Canada and the United States to work through the issues underlying Trump's tariff threat.

European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth straight gain. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% and was solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 333 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite was essentially flat with a gain of less than 0.1% as of 3:07 p.m. Eastern. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 10.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 1.5% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 2.4% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.8%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 were gaining ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.3%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 5.6%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.8% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.41% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, Bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December.In conclusion, the internet celebrity who has shed the long robe of conformity is not just a trendsetter or a provocateur - they are a trailblazer, forging a new path in the digital landscape.

Deciding which way this engrossing second Test will go depends on whether you’re a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty type of person. After four enthralling days of Test cricket between South Africa and Sri Lanka in Gqeberha, there is almost nothing in it. The tourists closed the penultimate day on 205 for five, pursuing a target of 348 to ensure a famous win. They need 143 runs with five wickets in hand to level the series at 1-1. Their last two recognised batters, Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis, are at the crease, well set on 39 each, on a St George’s Park pitch that has offered a magnificent contest between bat and ball. With a new ball due in 28 overs, will the two Sri Lankans try to go on the attack on day five and slash and burn most of the deficit on their way to the target? Or will they use the ample time they have left in the match to chip away at the deficit? Given that the ball is 52 overs old, it does feel that if the Sri Lankan pair knock off more than 100 runs before the new ball, it would get the job done. Conversely, for a Proteas attack that stuck to its task throughout a hot fourth afternoon after they were dismissed for 317 in their second innings shortly after lunch, they will back themselves to snare the five wickets. The morning sessions have tended to be best for bowlers throughout the Test. South Africa resumed their second innings on day four at 191 for three, but lost seven wickets for the addition of only 126 runs. The Proteas will be hoping that the pattern holds on the fifth morning as they look to break the 83-run stand between Dhananjaya and Mendis. No side has ever chased down more than 300 to win a Test at St George’s — the record stands at 271 by Australia in 1997. However, Sri Lanka have chased in excess of 190 to win here, the last time they were in South Africa in 2019. Mendis was the star on that occasion, so he has some positive memories to call on. Proteas captain Temba Bavuma’s rich form continued as he top-scored in the Proteas’ second innings with 66, having resumed day four with his score on 48. Tristan Stubbs was well set with the skipper at the start of play but some terrible calling led to his demise for 47, run out in a terrible mix-up with Bavuma. That ended another promising innings, especially as Stubbs has the hitting ability to accelerate the score if needed. Bavuma followed soon after, when the spin of Prabath Jayasuriya turned viciously from outside leg and appeared to hit Bavuma’s pad and bat before dislodging the bails. Bavuma’s 66 was his third half-century of the series, in addition to a century in Durban. He is in the purplest of purple patches. From then on the wickets tumbled regularly as Jayasuriya returned figures of five for 129. He added the scalps of Marco Jansen (eight off 11 balls) and David Bedingham (35 from 55 balls), who were both looking to score quickly after Bavuma fell. Still, a lead of 347 is massive and the Proteas, despite a mediocre morning with the bat, were well set. With a big target to chase, the tourists made a poor start, losing opener Dimuth Karunaratne (1) to a searing in-swinger from around the wicket by Kagiso Rabada. It was the perfect message from the home team, although Pathum Nissanka and Dinesh Chandimal dug in with a 37-run second-wicket stand that caused some frustration. Nissanka (18 off 44 balls) fell to a ball he shouldn’t have, edging a wide one from first innings hero Dane Paterson into wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne’s grateful grasp. Chandimal (29 from 57 balls) fell victim to Paterson soon after, unable to cope with a ball that nipped back off the seam to trap him leg before. Chandimal reviewed in hope rather than expectation, but technology confirmed what the naked eye knew. He was stone dead. A 53-run fourth wicket stand between veteran Angelo Mathews and wunderkind Kamindu Mendis followed before left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj broke through. Mathews (32 off 59 balls) bizarrely charged down the wicket to a floated delivery and was beaten by the flight and spin to be bowled. Kamindu was Maharaj’s next victim in his next over. The elegant right-hander tried to turn the ball to leg, but was deceived by the spin and edged it into his pad where the ball spat out to the offside. Verreynne reacted like a cheetah stepping on a mamba as he flung himself forward to complete a remarkable catch, almost under Kamindu’s spikes. At 122 for five, and with about 20 overs in the day remaining, thoughts briefly turned to a possible Proteas win on day four. The stubborn resistance of Dhananjaya and Kusal though, ensured that a tense denouement to this gripping contest will play out on day five. DMIn his speech, Ma touched upon the profound impact of technology on our lives and the rapid evolution taking place in the digital landscape. He emphasized the importance of embracing change and innovation, highlighting the need for businesses to adapt to the era of AI to stay competitive and relevant in the fast-paced global economy.
