U.S. President Donald Trump, who's in Argentina for the G20 summit, has paid tribute to former President George H.W. Bush, who died on Friday at the age of 94.
In a statement, said that Bush... "through his essential authenticity, disarming wit, and unwavering commitment to faith, family and country," inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service.
President Trump announced that this coming Wednesday will be a day of mourning... and that a state funeral will be held for the late former president at the National Cathedral -- the first in eleven years.
The former president will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol starting Monday, and he will be buried at the presidential library in Texas, alongside his wife, Barbara Bush, who died seven months ago.
