Former US President George W. Bush and other Republican politicians mourned the death of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, 100, at his home in Connecticut on Wednesday.
The country has lost “one of the most trusted and heard voices in foreign policy,” Bush said in a statement.
The fact that a man like Kissinger, a refugee from Nazi Germany, became head of North American diplomacy “demonstrates his greatness and the greatness of America,” he added.
In the message, the former government official thanked the former head of US diplomacy for his advice and friendship.
The leader of the House of Representatives in the US Congress, Mike Johnson, also praised Kissinger’s legacy in a message on the social network the nation’. of the United States”.
Senator Lindsey Graham, in turn, highlighted the “remarkable life” of Kissinger, who was of Jewish descent and who fled Nazi Germany with his family when he was just a teenager.
Another Republican senator, Tim Scott, who until recently was a Republican pre-candidate for the 2024 presidential elections, stated on the same social network that few “have had as big an impact on American foreign policy” as Kissinger.
