What African Leaders Told Trump After Re-election
Polls throughout the campaign period could not give a clear winner as both candidates led with just a percentage point.
On Wednesday, however, things had started to be clear as the tallying continued with Donald Trump taking a clear lead to the 270 mark.
He, later on, emerged as the favorite candidate in the poll.
While it has not officially been called, Trump is projected to have 312 votes against Kamala’s 226.
After it was clear he was winning the race to become the 47th President of the United States, several world leaders took to their social media platforms to send their congratulatory messages.
African leaders were not left behind as they had various messages to share with Trump.
But what clearly came out in most of them was the desire to work with him in further strengthening the relations they have with him.
This is even as analysts expect the US foreign policy to change with the entry of Trump into the White House.
In a rally, after he was projected to win, the Republican candidate said that he would focus more on fixing America in the early first few years of his term.
Trade, aid, and security deals done by the Biden administration are at risk of taking different trajectories as a result of the Trump presidency.
Kenya’s William Ruto said his victory was an indication of the confidence Americans have in his innovative leadership.
“Your victory is a testament to the firm resolve of the American people to repose confidence in your visionary, bold, and innovative leadership. As you embark on this phase of your journey of leadership, Kenya stands ready to further enhance our cooperation on matters of mutual interest including trade, investment, technology & innovation, peace and security, and sustainable development,” he said.
