Republican Donald Trump won the US presidential election. He announced his political victory and declared himself the 47th president of the United States during a speech to his supporters. Trump has promised that his new presidential term will be a “golden era” in US history.
“I will not rest until I make the safe and prosperous America that our children and all of you deserve. This will be America’s golden age,” Trump said.
The incoming US president also stated that his goal is to stop all wars across the globe.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump on his victory when it became apparent. He emphasized that he appreciates Trump’s commitment to a “peace through strength” approach to global affairs. It is this principle, according to Zelenskyy, that can bring a just peace in Ukraine closer.
As well, the Republican Party captured the majority in the Senate and maintained their control in the House of Representatives. Therefore, the Trump administration will have a much easier time passing legislation through the Republican-controlled US Congress.
