Watch US election results 2016 live on NDTV and follow updates here. The entire world witnessed a stunning victory of Donald Trump over heavily favored Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House.
Brazil and Japan congratulate Trump but worry about his policies
During the US presidential campaign, Brazilian government officials had openly preferred Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to Trump, viewing him as unpredictable and opposed to freer trade.
Japan's Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida says on TV it's still unclear how Trump's policy and his political leadership will affect Japan, and it may "require our flexible response." Trump has said Japan should pay more for American troops stationed in Japan under the bilateral security pact or pull them out.
