It is finally official the United States of America’s President is now Donald Trump. Many people around the world are happy and many are sad but, we are seeing on the news today protesters burning and destroying property around the country in anger. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both have great faults and great benefits many of us could see that during the campaign but sadly people decided instead of acting civil like humans they turned to anger and rage at the results. Hillary Clinton worked a valiant campaign and, is still loved by so many in the U.S. who wanted her to win. She will still help the U.S. anyway she can continue to live on working to help others. The United States during this time has shown to the world that we are unable to act peacefully when choosing a new leader and, many still think their actions are correct. Below are responses around the world of both about our country and are choices over the presidential campaign to now. Images are from New York Post and all information has been researched by viewing numerous country accounts and websites such as CNN, UN, United Kingdom and much more.

Russia
President Vladimir Putin has said he is willing fully to restore ties with the US following Mr. Trump's victory.
"We heard the campaign statements of the future US presidential candidate about the restoration of relations between Russia and the United States," Mr. Putin said on Wednesday.
"It is not an easy path, but we are ready to do our part and do everything to return Russian and American relations to a stable path of development.
"This would be good for both the Russian and American people and have a positive impact on the climate of world affairs."
In Moscow meanwhile, senior nationalist MP Vladimir Zhirinovsky threw a party at the parliament building to celebrate Mr. Trump's win. Former Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev has also welcomed his triumph.
Relations between the US and Russia have become tenser because of the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria and allegations of Russian cyber attacks in the US during the presidential campaign.
China
Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated Donald Trump in a telegram, state TV reported.
Earlier the foreign ministry said that China was hoping to work with the new US government to boost bilateral relations.
"US-China trade relations are mutually beneficial. Two mature big powers like the US and China will handle things well," foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said.
"We look forward to working together with the new US administration to push forward consistent, healthy and stable China-US relations which could be beneficial to the people of the two countries and to the world."
Iran
President Hassan Rouhani said the result would not have any impact on Iran's policies. He was quoted by state media as saying the election result reflected internal discontent and instability within the US which would take a long time to be solved.
Speaking in relation to the Iran nuclear deal, President Rouhani asserted that it was a clever move by the Iranian government to establish it as a UN Security Council resolution rather than a deal with a single government.
Earlier Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted by the official Irna news agency as saying that the new US president should stick by the deal.
"Iran and America have no political relations, but it is important that the future US president realizes his duty to uphold the multilateral obligations of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and we expect the international community to require this of the United States of America," he said.
Iraq
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi congratulated Mr. Trump, saying he's looking forward to America's continued support in his country's fight against Islamic State (IS).
Mr. Abadi said he hopes the "world and the United States will continue to support Iraq in fighting terrorism".
Mr. Trump's future policy in the Middle East remains unclear.
Afghanistan
President Ashraf Ghani said that his country and the US are "strategic partners in the fight against terrorism and partners in development".
"[The] Afghan government is hopeful that close co-operation [with] the new president-elect will further deepen ties between the two countries," a statement released by the presidential palace said.
Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah added that "combating extremism and efforts to bring peace and stability" are the top priorities of both countries, along with strengthening economic, military, social and cultural ties.

Canada
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that "Canada has no closer friend, partner, and ally than the United States".
"We look forward to working very closely with President-elect Trump, his administration, and with the United States Congress in the years ahead, including on issues such as trade, investment, and international peace and security," he says.
Prime Minister believed that Clinton was a good leading candidate who would be the best pick for the U.S. for she has experience in working in government.

Mexico
Conspicuously, President Enrique Pena Nieto does not congratulate Mr. Trump on his victory.
Instead, he congratulates the US "for its electoral process" and tells the president-elect that he hopes the two countries will work together to form a stronger relationship.
Enrique saw Clinton as a greater choice for the American people showing a campaign of trying to grow bonds with the country instead of wanting to put a wall between the two.

UK
In her message of congratulations, Prime Minister Theresa May focused on the "special relationship" between the two countries. She said that she hoped that Mr. Trump's win would mean a continuation of shared values, including "freedom, democracy, and enterprise".
"We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security, and defense," she said.
"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."
France
President Francois Hollande said Mr. Trump's victory "opens a period of uncertainty".
Speaking in a televised address, he said that there was now a greater need for a united Europe, able to wield influence on the international stage and promote its values and interests whenever they are challenged.
Germany
"The US is an old and venerable democracy," Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
"I watched the election result with particular suspense. Someone elected to be president by the American people in free and fair elections has importance far beyond the USA.
"For us Germans, other than with the European Union, we have no deeper connection than with the United States of America."
India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in tweets said: "We look forward to working with you closely to take India-US bilateral ties to a new height," he said.
Japan
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged a continuing close relationship between the US and Japan in his congratulatory message.
"I express my heartfelt congratulations on your election as the next president of the United States," his statement said. "Japan and the United States are unshakeable allies connected by common values such as freedom, democracy, basic human rights and rule of law.
Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hoped to reach "new heights" in relations with Mr. Trump, who he described as "a true friend of the state of Israel".
"I look forward to working with him to advance security, stability, and peace in our region," he said.
Earlier hard-line Jewish Home party leader and Education Minister Naftali Bennett said the notion of a Palestinian state was over after Donald Trump's win.
"Trump's victory is an opportunity for Israel to immediately retract the notion of a Palestinian state in the center of the country, which would hurt our security and just cause," he said.
"This is the position of the president-elect... The era of a Palestinian state is over."
Liberia
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf tells the BBC that she is "extremely saddened" by Donald Trump's victory.
"Our concern is whether President-elect Trump will have an African agenda and build bridges," she said. "We can only hope that he will do so in due course."
The president said that she was worried about the future of trade deals between the US and Liberia in particular and Africa in general.
"We do not know what his policy towards Africa will be," she said.
"Obviously we are concerned but we will have to give him the benefit of the doubt."
Poland
Polish President Andrzej Duda congratulated Mr. Trump in a letter and said: "We are particularly pleased that during this year's Nato Summit in Warsaw the US decided to increase its military presence in Poland, thereby strengthening the Alliance's Eastern flank.
"We sincerely hope that your leadership will open new opportunities for our co-operation based on mutual commitment."
The United Nations
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that "in the aftermath of a hard-fought and often divisive campaign, it is worth recalling and reaffirming that the unity in diversity of the United States is one of the country's greatest strengths".
"I encourage all Americans to stay true to that spirit. Today's global challenges demand concerted global action and joint solutions. As a founding member of the United Nations and permanent member of the Security Council, the United States is an essential actor across the international agenda," he said.
Mr. Ban added that "people everywhere look to the United States to use its remarkable power to help lift humanity up and to work for the common good" which included the battle against climate change, advancing human rights and "promoting mutual understanding... to achieve lives of peace, prosperity, and dignity for all".
The Vatican
Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin says the Vatican "respects the American people's choice" and hopes that Donald Trump will "serve the wellbeing and peace of the world".
"There is a need for everyone to work to change the world situation, which is in great distress", he is quoted by La Repubblica newspaper as saying.
The European Union
Foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said that trans-Atlantic ties with the US went beyond the election of Donald Trump.
"We'll continue to work together, rediscovering the strength of Europe," she said.
EU Parliament President Martin Schulz said the result must be honored and that Mr. Trump "managed to become the standard-bearer of the angst and fears of millions of Americans".
Philippines
President Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines' tough-talking leader, offered his "warm congratulations" to the US president-elect.
According to his communications secretary, Mr. Duterte "looks forward to working with the incoming administration for enhanced Philippines-US relations anchored on mutual respect, mutual benefit and shared commitment to democratic ideals and the rule of law".
Countries are at a cross, some are happy for the win and others are disappointed with the outcome. We as a country need to come together and show to the world that even though he is our president we will not let that stop us from fighting for what we believe in. Like I have been telling you all you must create the change you want to see in the world to make it a better tomorrow. If we come together instead of tearing apart and destroying our own cities and towns then we are no better then who we elected. Come together as one and let all of our voices be heard that we will not stand by and watch our country divide itself. I believe Abraham Lincoln said it best when he said, "A house dived against itself can not stand".
