BREAKING: George P. Shultz, secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan, has died at age 100.

FILE - In this Jan. 9, 1985 file photo, Secretary of State George Shultz, center, walks with President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush upon his arrival at the White House in Washington, after two days of arms talks with the Soviet Union in Geneva. Shultz, former President Reagan's longtime secretary of state, who spent most of the 1980s trying to improve relations with the Soviet Union and forging a course for peace in the Middle East, died Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021. He was 100.

He was labor secretary, treasury secretary and director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Richard M. Nixon before spending more than six years as President Ronald Reagan’s secretary of state. Shultz had largely stayed out of politics since his retirement, but had been an advocate for an increased focus on climate change. He marked his 100th birthday in December by extolling the virtues of trust and bipartisanship in politics and other endeavors in a piece he wrote for The Washington Post.

After the October 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 soldiers, Shultz worked tirelessly to end Lebanon’s brutal civil war in the 1980s. He spent countless hours of shuttle diplomacy between Mideast capitals trying to secure the withdrawal of Israeli forces there. The 1987 Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was a historic attempt to begin to reverse the nuclear arms race, a goal he never abandoned in private life.“Now that we know so much about these weapons and their power,” Shultz said in an interview in 2008, “they’re almost weapons that we wouldn’t use, so I think we would be better off without them.”

He earned a Ph.D. in economics at MIT in 1949 and taught at MIT and at the University of Chicago, where he was dean of the business school. His administration experience included a stint as a senior staff economist with President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Council of Economic Advisers and as Nixon’s OMB director.

chenweihua Lmao bye bitch

I can still remember when then senator Joseph R Biden, shattered Shultz on the Reagan administration’s support for apartheid South Africa. Shultz was not such a good man!

May he Rest In Peace and arise in God’s light.

The war in Yemen began at the hand of the politics of America’s democrats, not America’s Republicans, in order for the world to respect you. Stop, your aggression against Yemen, in order for peace to come to everyone. Stop the war in Yemen

Assambn

May his soul Rest In Peace

A towering figure of US and world politics. Highly experienced and clear sighted. A good friend to Britain. A loss. HooverInst

Rip great man

Oh you have a heart.

and a young Joe Biden gets his picture shared again

Another one down, far too many to go.

What else can we say!!! May his soul rest in peace and the spirit of his services endure for ever.

In headline you say Secretary of State under President Reagan. Then at least publish picture of Shultz and Reagan instead of one of Biden with him? How is that objective journalism? 🙄🤦‍♂️

Wow is there just no respect for the dead anymore?! So immature. Death is death no matter WHO you are! And if we value life at all, we should treat it as such. KARMA’S a bitch. RIP George P. Shultz

Oh. ALLAH. 100 years. Now I remember him. The world was in calm that days.

How did he die?

Oh. Allah. 100 yers. Now I remember him.

He didn’t support his grandson. I wish he had.

chenweihua LOL one more genderless bathroom

Does this mean no new Charlie Brown comic strips?

Not a fan of the Iran Contra scandal that the entire Reagan presidency was dipped into. Reagan was an evil man, and Dragon Lady was worse.

Why tf everyone here hating Reagan

Next in line is Henry Kissinger

RIP. A Dwight-Englewood alum! (Then Englewood School for Boys).

chenweihua

Good.

The photo is a reminder of just how long Biden has been in Washington. Some of his contemporaries are now centenarians.

GingerLyn_V2 What a life. 100 years. RIP

a national treasure

MissPavIichenko

R.I.P George Shultz, was great US secretary of state who ended Cold War

I loved Charlie Brown.

BowTiePolitics Also in that photo was my former Senator Charles Percy. Nixon hated him.

MoldBroken

Condolences from a grateful nation. Rest In Peace. 🇺🇸

Watched him testify on Capitol Hill when I was covering a hearing.

My condolences to his family and friends. May he RIP.

Was Bob Percy the last moderate Republican or no?

Probably succumbed to a broken heart over the state of what once was the United States of America

Theranos

This one hurts

Semper Fidelis and may you RIP.

chenweihua 🦀🦀🦀

Gone too soon.

🙏

During his more than six years as President Ronald Reagan’s secretary of state, Schulz worked to improve Cold War relations with the Soviet Union and forge a course for peace in the Middle East. Schultz died Saturday in California at age 100.

Can they bury him next to Regan so we can piss on both their graves at the same time?

Too young

Wow!! I remember him as the secretary of state who had a Tiger tattooed on his bum. And, he was knowledgable and respected. 🙏🙏🙏

Great American who served the nation well.

2 little, deffo 2 late

chenweihua Evil lives too long

RIP

RIP da Theranos king

and nothing of value was lost

This reminds me of a heated debate in Senate Foreign Intelligence Committee on South Africa's Apartheid policy between current President Biden as Senator then and Secretary Shultz. No one lives forever! RIP Sec Shultz.Our condolences to friends and families

RIP thankful for your service. 🙏🏻

May his soul rest in peace. He has lived long to see through a century of dynamic social and political changes.

Oh!

Ronald Regan?!!..... The ACTOR!?

R.I.P.

Reagan was terrible

He had a tattoo on his butt. RIPGeorgeShultz

During Reagan's presidency, the federal debt held by the public nearly tripled in nominal terms, from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion. This led to the U.S. moving from the world's largest international creditor to the world's largest debtor nation.

Was he still serving in Congress 🤦🤷 rip

R.I.P

Wow, the things that man saw! RIP

I'm sure he was great.

Ah taking a one way elevator south to join his friend. You love to see it.

Great to hear another gender neutral restroom opened up

RIP sir ! Thank you for all you did for this country .

A true Patriot

That seems to be a good run. 100years.
