Speaking in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump told a large crowd of supporters that this moment would “help this country heal,” and promised the American people, “I will fight for you every day.”

According to CNN , on stage, with members of the Trump family and campaign team present, including Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump declared he would usher in "America's Golden Age."

According to him, this is a "huge victory for the American people, allowing us to make America great again."

Trump also celebrated the Republican victory in the Senate with his supporters. The former US president emphasized: "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mission. We have regained control of the Senate."

In addition, Trump suggested that the Republican Party "looks likely to retain control of the House of Representatives."

Fox News predicts that the Republican Party will win at least 51 seats in the U.S. Senate, giving them control of the institution.

In the House of Representatives, the Democratic Party currently holds 150 seats and the Republican Party holds 182 seats; either party needs to win 218 seats to secure a majority.

International public opinion

Reuters quoted former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on November 6 as saying that Republican candidate Donald Trump's victory in the US election could be bad news for Ukraine, but it remains unclear to what extent Trump might cut Washington's funding for the conflict.

On Telegram , Medvedev – currently the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council – suggested that the Ukrainian government is among the groups that Trump might not want to spend too much money on.

Meanwhile, AFP quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning as emphasizing: "We will continue to approach and handle China-US relations based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and mutually beneficial cooperation."

On the same day, France, a European ally of the US, called on the continent to be prepared to take responsibility for its own destiny if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.

French government spokesman Maud Bregeon stated: “We must not ask what the US will do, but what Europe is capable of doing. In some crucial areas such as defense, industrial recovery, and decarbonization, we must take responsibility for our own destiny.”

Another U.S. ally, Japan, affirmed its commitment to building trust and close cooperation with the new U.S. administration to strengthen the bilateral security alliance.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Yoshimasa emphasized that this alliance is "the cornerstone of Japan's foreign and security policies. We will maintain close contact with the next U.S. administration to further enhance the alliance's deterrence and response capabilities."

According to Hayashi, Tokyo has been closely monitoring the US election and plans to arrange a meeting between the leaders of the two countries soon, as both sides are expanding security cooperation with partners such as South Korea and Australia to address challenges.
