Friendship between Canada, US 'envy of the world': Trudeau

Canadian premier says he and president-elect Donald Trump will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, security

By Diyar Guldogan

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.

Trump has thanked Americans "for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president," referring to his earlier term in office, 2017-2021, before Joe Biden won four years as the 46th US president.

"This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again," he said.

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.
