In a surprising political reversal, Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States, marking a remarkable return to power after a contentious period following his previous administration. Once dismissed by many political analysts, Trump's win represents a powerful re-entry into U.S. politics despite past controversies, legal battles, and a divisive reputation.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged Trump’s victory in a congratulatory post on social media platform X, sharing a photo from a previous meeting at the White House during Trump’s initial term. Trudeau expressed optimism, stating, "The friendship between Canada and the U.S. remains a global example. I look forward to working with President Trump to drive shared prosperity and security.”

During Trump’s first term, tensions with Canada were notable. Trump often criticized Trudeau’s leadership, labeled him as "weak," and imposed tariffs that impacted Canadian industries, leaving many Canadians relieved at Trump’s 2020 loss. Trudeau’s warm message, however, signals a hopeful outlook for renewed collaboration.

In his victory speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump called for unity: "It’s time to put the past divisions behind us,” he said. “We must unite as a country and prioritize America’s future."

Trump was joined on stage by family members, including his wife Melania and children Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Barron, reflecting a show of solidarity after years of political turbulence. Key campaign advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita stood by Trump, alongside political allies like House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The event was marked by celebrity supporters, with UFC CEO Dana White and golfer Bryson DeChambeau appearing on stage. Billionaire Elon Musk, who has emerged as a vocal supporter, was praised by Trump as a “new star” of the movement.
