Recognitions and Commitments after the US Elections
The recent presidential election in the United States has generated a series of significant political and social reactions. In a context of division and tension, Vice President Kamala Harris has stressed the importance of accepting the outcome of the vote, affirming her commitment to a “peaceful transition” with Donald Trump. During an event at Howard University, she was greeted with warm applause and expressed her gratitude for the country, promising that “the light will continue to shine as long as we continue to fight.”
Harris emphasized that while he accepts defeat, he does not consider the battle for freedom over.
Additionally, both Trump and Harris agreed on the need to unite the country. This marks an important step toward bipartisan cooperation at a critical moment in American history.
International Reactions and Congratulations
Trump’s victory has attracted international attention. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had a telephone conversation with Trump to congratulate him and reaffirm the ties between Italy and the United States. Chinese President Xi Jinping also contacted Trump to express his congratulations, highlighting the geopolitical importance of the new administration.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hailed Trump’s victory as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between the United States and the UN.
Markets on the Move
After Trump’s victory announcement, Wall Street reacted positively. The main indices rose significantly, with the Dow Jones gaining more than 3%. This reflects investors' confidence in the economic direction of the future administration.
Towards an Uncertain Future
Donald Trump’s re-election marks a historic turning point. He becomes the first president to serve two non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland. However, this victory is not without its challenges; Trump faces a divided country and numerous domestic and foreign issues to resolve.
In conclusion, as the United States prepares to face this new political phase, the key will be to find ways to build bridges between different political and social factions. Only then will it be possible to ensure a peaceful and productive transition into the future.
