Global leaders congratulate Trump but his victory looks set to roil the world — again
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — The verdict of U.S. voters was more decisive than most pollsters and pundits had predicted. Now the world waits to see whether the election of Donald Trump as president for a second time is as destabilizing as many American allies fear. Trump’s first term saw him insult and alienate longstanding American allies. His return to the White House, four years after losing office to President Joe Biden, has huge consequences for everything from global trade to climate change to multiple crises and conflicts around the world. Many world leaders sent congratulations. But beneath many of the messages was concern about what Trump’s victory means for the global economy and the world’s many conflicts.
