Chinese President Xi Jinping has congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the recent U.S. presidential election, emphasizing the importance of stabilizing and improving China-U.S. relations. Xi highlighted that both nations benefit from cooperation rather than confrontation and called for strengthened dialogue, communication, and mutual respect. Trump's re-election introduces uncertainty in global trade, as he has pledged to impose substantial tariffs on Chinese goods, potentially rekindling trade tensions. Japan and other U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific region are apprehensive about Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy, which could affect military and economic ties. Despite these concerns, leaders like Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba have expressed hope for enhanced bilateral relations with the U.S. under Trump's administration. Analysts suggest that Trump's return could also pose significant trade challenges for Europe, which has not yet faced the full brunt of his protectionist policies.
