Donald Trump Wins US Election

Donald Trump has won the US election and will make a historic return to the White House. Mr. Trump delivered a wide-ranging speech to supporters at his watch party in Florida. He thanked his voters and said "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. " Of the seven crucial swing states, Mr. Trump won North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and is ahead in Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona. A short while ago, Kamala Harris addressed supporters at Howard University, her alma mater. Earlier, she called Mr. Trump to concede the election and congratulate him on his win. Mrs. Harris reiterated to Democrat supporters, their commitment to a peaceful transition of power. Meanwhile, the Republicans have another reason to celebrate as they have also taken the Senate back from the Democrats. Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley has extended congratulations to Donald Trump on his victory at the polls. In his letter, Dr. Rowley told Mr. Trump that The people of the United States of America have spoken in a clear and strong voice and that his success reflects their trust in his vision for the future. He noted the long and enduring relationship between both countries which he said is founded on deep ties across many sectors, including trade, security, culture and people-to-people exchanges. Dr. Rowley said he looked forward to further strengthening our cooperation in the years ahead and that he has every confidence that under Mr. Trump’s stewardship, the relationship with the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean Community (CARICOM), will continue to prosper.
