How America’s adversaries and allies are responding to Trump’s landslide

President-elect Donald Trump’s triumph Tuesday is perhaps the greatest political turnaround in American history. But how is the world reacting?

Trump ran as the “peace candidate” by promising to avert what he believes is a looming WWIII. He wants calmer relations with adversaries, such as Russia and China. Contrary to much mythmaking, however, Moscow and Beijing believe there are unlikely to be major changes in U.S. foreign policy. At least not immediately. Moscow preferred Trump while Beijing was partial to Vice President Kamala Harris, but both countries were prepared for either winner.
