President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to serve as a leader for "all Americans" and calls for the country to "bind the wounds of division" after a bitter presidential campaign.
He has also promised to get along well with all nations willing to get along with the United States.
During his victory speech at Trump Towers in New York on Wednesday, America's President-elect said he would seek common ground, and not hostility, with all people and nations.
Trump said earlier that Hillary Clinton had called him, to congratulate him on his victory.
Trump said that in turn, he “congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign.”
He added that the United States owed her a major debt of gratitude for her service.
The gracious sentiment was a far cry from Trump’s usually heated rhetoric about Clinton. He has suggested that she should go to jail and chants of “Lock her up!” were a staple at his campaign rallies.
Meanwhile, the European Union said it would continue working with the United States after the election of Trump as the next US president.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Wednesday that EU/US ties are deeper than any change in politics.
"We'll continue to work together, rediscovering the strength of Europe," Mogherini said in a Twitter post.
