Prime Minister Theresa May has passed on her congratulations after Donald Trump was elected the next President of the United States as the world reels from the shock election result.
Prime Minister Theresa May said:
"I would like to congratulate Donald Trump on being elected the next President of the United States, following a hard-fought campaign.Britain and the United States have an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise. We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defence. I look forward to working with President-elect Donald Trump, building on these ties to ensure the security and prosperity of our nations in the years ahead."
Property tycoon, former reality TV star Donald Trump will become the 45th US president after a seismic victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The 70 year old Republican nominee confounded pre-election polling to claim swing states, winning the key states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Mr Trump, who will take office in January with a Republican-dominated Congress, called for unity and told his cheering supporters
"No dream is too big; no challenge too big. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best. We must reclaim our country's destiny and dream big and bold and daring. I will always keep America first."
