Friendship between Canada, US ‘envy of the world’: Trudeau
WASHINGTON (AA) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump on being elected 47th president of the US.
“The friendship between Canada and the U.S. is the envy of the world. I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations,” Trudeau said on X.
Republican candidate Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris after winning 277 Electoral College votes in Tuesday’s election, according to The Associated Press.
Trump also led Harris by about 5 million votes in the popular count, while getting around 71 million votes.
He won key swing states, including North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, Missouri, Utah, Montana, Kansas, Iowa, and Idaho.
The win makes Trump only the second US president to serve non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland, who served two separate terms in the late 1800s, with President Benjamin Harrison in between.
