WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump, who has alternated among praising, criticizing and mocking Jimmy Carter, came Wednesday to the Capitol Rotunda to pay his respects to Carter as the 39th president lies in state ahead of his funeral Thursday in the nation's capital.

Carter was often the target of Trump's derision during his 2024 campaign, and the president-elect has renewed his critique of the Georgia Democrat this week for ceding control of the Panama Canal to its home country when he was president more than four decades ago.
