In a historic turn of events, Donald Trump has been declared the 47th President of the United States, leading to an outpouring of congratulations from world leaders and government figures. PMs from Portugal, Spain, Greece, and Ireland, as well as the European Commission president, NATO’s Rutte, and India’s Modi, have all extended their congratulations to Trump, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong international relationships and partnerships. Israeli government figures welcomed the victory, while Hamas expressed skepticism on Trump’s promise to end the Gaza war.
In the US, key election results included victories for Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia, while Harris won Minnesota and Virginia. The Senate saw a shift in control as Republicans secured a majority, flipping seats in Ohio and Missouri. Trump’s promises on trade, including imposing potential tariffs on European imports, have raised concerns in the UK and Ireland. California passed a tough-on-crime ballot measure, while Nebraska upheld its abortion ban and Nevada and South Dakota saw mixed results on abortion rights measures.
As the world witnesses this historic election outcome, the repercussions are being felt globally with a mix of congratulations, concerns, and hopes for continued cooperation and partnership under the new US administration.
