Donald Trump won 47th Presidential election in US over Kamala Harris ...Joe Biden, emphasising unity, assured Donald Trump of a smooth transition and praised Kamala Harris for her campaign. During a call with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump acknowledged her professionalism and tenacity, with both leaders expressing a commitment to uniting the country, the AP report added.
Donald Trump also spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Ukrainian President Zelensky, and other global leaders, including French President Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who discussed aspirations to enhance US-Saudi relations.
Trump has pledged to pursue peace in the Middle East amid ongoing conflicts involving Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, though specifics on his approach remain unclear.
US markets responded positively to Trump’s victory, with gains in stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who previously charged Trump in federal cases, is reportedly reviewing Justice Department policies regarding the prosecution of sitting presidents, possibly halting any further action against Trump once he takes office.
Smith charged Trump last year with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The latter case had already been dismissed. But Trump’s election victory means that the Justice Department believes he can no longer face prosecution in accordance with decades-old department legal opinions meant to shield presidents from criminal charges while in office.
