BEIJING: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed optimism that President-elect Donald Trump’s victory will bring about positive changes in bilateral relations, trade, and geopolitics.
"We will welcome any positive stance by the United States towards peace, particularly efforts to halt Israel's violent attacks on Gaza and to acknowledge the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people," the Prime Minister said at a press conference during his working visit to Beijing on Thursday (Nov 7).
Anwar also expressed hope that Trump would pursue reconciliation in the Ukraine conflict, which could help address global economic challenges.
Trump, 78, won the US Presidential election held on Nov 5, surpassing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to defeat Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
This victory marks Trump’s return to the US presidency for a second term, having previously served from 2017 to 2021. – Bernama
