41st president, who shepherded the US through a turbulent period in global relations that included the breakup of the Soviet Union and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, George HW Bush has died aged 94.
An official statement from his office said: “George Herbert Walker Bush, world war two naval aviators, Texas oil pioneer, and 41st president of the United States of America, died on 30 November 2018.
His son George W Bush, the 43rd president, issued a statement on behalf of his family: “Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died. George HW Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens.”
A statement from present president of USA; Donald Trump praised Bush for his “sound judgment, common sense and unflappable leadership”.
