These are among the reactions from political figures and some of the most important media outlets on Trump’s victory:
“I congratulate the USA on its electoral process and reiterate Donald Trump our willingness to work together in favor of a bilateral relationship.
Mexico and the United States are friends, partners and allies who must continue to collaborate for the competitiveness and development of North America.
I trust that Mexico and the United States will continue to strengthen their ties of cooperation and mutual respect”.
Enrique Peña Nieto / President of Mexico
“After a long campaign, the American people have spoken and democracy has been heard. President Obama phoned the victor this morning to congratulate him. The President invited President-elect Trump to meet with him at the White House tomorrow to discuss the transition. Ensuring a smooth transition of power will be a top priority for all of us in the coming weeks as will our continued work to strengthen the ties between Mexico and the United States.
Change sometimes brings anxiety, but as I have said many times I am confident our relationship is firmly rooted in shared values and interests. That relationship will remain strong to the benefit of both countries.”

Uncertainty in markets as Trump era begins
Donald Trump’s election as US president is set to send a shockwave through global stocks following a plunge on Australian and Asian share markets on Wednesday.
Australia’s market was first to feel the brunt of investor fear for what the controversial Republican’s ascendancy to the White House will mean for global trade and politics, given his staunch opposition to free trade deals and strong criticism of China, the world’s second-largest economy.
After Australia’s benchmark SP/ASX200 closed at a four-month low, the rout continued across Asia with Japan’s Nikkei index down 5.4 per cent and Hong Kong dropping three per cent.
