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.

A sense of complete disbelief has descended on Clinton HQ in New York, reports Barkha Dutt.

"I am surprised (with the results) because the mainstream media was against him, the moneybags were against, him... the manner in which the President and his wife lobbied for her (Hillary), she got more money than her... and he's still making it," says Kanwal Sibal, Former Foreign Secretary.

Donald Trump has chosen a Hilton hotel in New York for his "victory rally". Why not one of his own hotels? Because this one has more space, reports NDTV's Sreenivasan Jain from Trump HQ.
With minutes to go for the first projected results, here's quick recap of how they work.
While in India, most TV channels start announcing trends for seats, all US TV networks and, increasingly, news websites, start calling or declaring states in favour of one or the other Presidential candidate within minutes of voting ending in that state.
This declaration of the winner of a state is based on previous voting patterns (who has won that state for years) and exit polls.
Where the counting is closer, as in the Battleground States, the networks wait until they have much more actual voting data before projecting a state in favour of a particular candidate.
