Donald Trump is the 45th president of the United States09.11.2016

The Republican Donald Trump shocked the world by winning the fight for the presidency in the United States, ending an eight-year reign of the Democrats and sending the country into a new, unknown way.

The construction magnate and former presenter of a reality show, known for sharp statements on the most sensitive issues, beat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton - the former first lady of the country, Senator and Secretary of State, who was expected to win according pre-election polls.

By this time, the Republican won 290 votes against 218 of Clinton.

Trump said that Clinton acknowledged defeat in the battle for the White House, and has promised to improve the state of the American economy and seek dialogue and partnership with other countries.

Trump greeted his supporters in the ballroom of the New York hotel and said it was time to bridge the gap in the society caused by the election campaign and find a common language.

Trump's victory raises a number of questions to the United States with respect to domestic and foreign policy. He promised to introduce a 35% tax on the goods supplied by the US companies that operate abroad.

The investors, concerned that Trump's victory will lead to global economic and political turbulence, sold risky assets such as stocks. The US dollar and stock index futures fell in morning trading in Asia.

The Mexican peso, which became more expensive on the voting day, fell to the lowest levels in its history, after the results of elections in some states pointed to the strengthening of the positions of Trump. The Canadian dollar fell to a minimum of eight months. The billionaire threatened to build a wall against illegal immigrants on the Mexican border and break the free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.

Later, however, the markets have recovered from the shock, after the peaceful speech of President-elect, contrasted with his aggressive pre-election rhetoric. Trump has promised to improve the state of the American economy and seek dialogue and partnership with other countries.
