Wednesday, 9 November 2016 Hungarian Prime Minister declares 'deadly' Clinton's election defeat 'great news'. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán congratulated Donald Trump on his victory. 'What a great news. Democracy is still alive,' he wrote on Facebook page. Mr. Orbán was the first European leader to favour one candidate over the other. In July, he claimed Mr. Trump's foreign policies were 'vital' to his nation's plans. He has upset fellow EU members in the past over policy, most recently with his tough stance on Europe's migrant crisis. He strongly objected to EU resettlement plans and built a fence along Hungary's southern border. 'The migration and foreign policy advocated by the Republican candidate Mr Trump is good for Europe and vital for Hungary,' Mr. Orbán said in July. Meanwhile European Union leaders have invited US President-elect Trump to come visit the 28-nation bloc as possible to assess trans-Atlantic ties. EU Council President Tusk and his Commission counterpart Juncker said that, despite Trump's campaign talk of protectionism and isolationism, both sides 'should consolidate the bridges we have been building across the Atlantic'. Tusk famously quoted his wife during the U.S. election campaign, saying that 'One Donald is more than enough.!' After Wednesday's shock election result, Tusk and Juncker said that 'it is more important than ever to strengthen trans-Atlantic relations.' That is why they invited Trump to come over for a visit 'at your earliest convenience'. (Source: DailyMail): http://tinyurl.com/qhohepw

November 9, 2016 Anxious world confronts the reality of Trump as U.S. President. Putin was the first global leader to welcome Trump’s stunning election victory, which left much of the rest of the world anxious. “Russia is ready and wants to restore full relations with the United States.” Doing so, he said, “would have a positive effect on the overall climate of world affairs, given the special responsibility of Russia and the U.S. for maintaining global stability and security.” Russia’s response reflected the mood in countries with strained relations with outgoing President Obama. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was the first national leader to express support for Trump back in July. In East Asia, prospects for trade and security dominated reaction. The U.S. trade deficit with Asian partners was a key campaign issue, and Trump threatened to slap punitive tariffs on Chinese imports, discard a regional trade pact and review key security alliances with Japan and South Korea. Trump should work with China to build “a new paradigm of major power relations,” China’s official Xinhua News Agency said in a commentary, using a phrase that’s important to China because it indicates equal status with the U.S. Obama used it after Chinese President Xi took power in 2012, but later dropped it as tensions increased over China’s assertiveness over territorial disputes in Asia. Earlier, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lu said both countries had benefited from two-way trade. (Source: Bloomberg): http://tinyurl.com/ooxjynw

There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States." (Source: Metro.UK): http://tinyurl.com/peoduqn

Nov 9, 2016 Republican Trump stunned the world by defeating heavily favored rival Mrs. Clinton in Tuesday's presidential election, ending eight years of Democratic rule and sending the United States on a new, uncertain path. A wealthy real-estate developer and former reality TV host, Trump rode a wave of anger toward Washington insiders to win the White House race against Clinton, the Democratic candidate whose gold-plated establishment resume included stints as a first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state. Worried a Trump victory could cause economic and global uncertainty, investors were in full flight from risky assets. But the U.S. dollar and world stocks began to steady in the European morning on Wednesday, having been hammered overnight. Trump collected enough of the 270 state-by-state electoral votes needed to win a four-year term that starts on Jan. 20, taking battleground states where presidential elections are traditionally decided, U.S. television networks projected. He appeared with his family before cheering supporters in a New York hotel ballroom, saying it was time to heal the divisions caused by the campaign and find common ground after a campaign that exposed deep differences among Americans. "It is time for us to come together as one united people," Trump said. "I will be president for all Americans." He said he had received a call from Clinton to congratulate him on the win and praised her for her service and for a hard-fought campaign. His comments were an abrupt departure from his campaign trail rhetoric in which he repeatedly slammed Clinton as "crooked" amid supporters' chants of "lock her up." Republicans also kept control of Congress. Television networks projected the party would retain majorities in both the 100-seat U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, where all 435 seats were up for grabs. In his victory speech, he said he had a great economic plan, would embark on a project to rebuild American infrastructure and would double U.S. economic growth. His win raises a host of questions for the United States at home and abroad. He campaigned on a pledge to take the country on a more isolationist, protectionist "America First" path. He has vowed to impose a 35 percent tariff on goods exported to the United States by U.S. companies that went abroad. Trump at 70 will be the oldest first-term U.S. president. Countries around the world reacted with stunned disbelief. German Defense Minister von der Leyen, an ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel, described the result as a "huge shock" and questioned whether it meant the end of "Pax Americana", the state of relative peace overseen by Washington that has governed international relations since World War Two. Neighbor Mexico was pitched into deep uncertainty by the victory for Trump who has often accused it of stealing U.S. jobs and sending criminals across the border. British Prime Minister May congratulated Trump and said the two countries would remain "strong and close partners on trade, security and defence." Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif called on Washington to stay committed to last year's international nuclear deal with Iran, which Trump has threatened to rip up. Trump's national security ideas have simultaneously included promises to build up the U.S. military while at the same time avoiding foreign military entanglements. He wants to rewrite international trade deals to reduce trade deficits and has taken positions that raise the possibility of damaging relations with America's most trusted allies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Trump has promised to warm relations with Russia that have chilled under President Obama over Russian President Putin's intervention in the Syrian civil war and his seizure of Ukraine's Crimea region. Putin sent Trump a congratulatory note on Wednesday, saying he hoped that they can get the U.S.-Russian relationship out of crisis. Trump's victory marked a frustrating end to the presidential aspirations of Clinton, 69, who failed for the second time to be elected the first woman U.S. president. Trump seized on the emails to charge that Clinton represented a corrupt political system in Washington that had to be swept clean. (Source: Reuters): http://tinyurl.com/qx9klkr
