as honestly try to do the workings, 32 hours a week has to be better for the farmers than 40. but of course we shouldn't be 90 be the living scientists just had subscribed. whatever you listen to had costs the the news life from berlin. donald trump waiting us presidency. he's returning to the white house officer for your absence. the one of the, the americans, people for the x ray, harry potter, things like 47 president, 40 the under the expanded, you welcome to the douglas continuing special coverage of the us election. it's

official. donald trump has won the race for the us presidency. the associated press has projected, but he has edge to come to hers in the state of wisconsin, but to him foster the finish line of 270 elect total votes. and at this moment, we are waiting on a job on johnson, the owner of charles to give a news conference, sir, in berlin, in the reaction to the news that's coming out of the united states. and that press conference is set to begin in a moment, but in the intent them, we can go ahead go across to our correspondent matthew moore, who will be uh, also listening into what the chancellor says. matthew, how is germany expected to react to the news coming out of the united states? i think we, we kind of know already because we've had all, all manner of reactions this morning, be restroom across the political spectrum. and there's going to be said is not mean

an outpouring of joy or relief this morning. really, a lot of frankly sold but reactions. as all political leaders would say, across the political boards he of jeremy, have been congratulating president trump talking about the long history between the how many in the us of cooperation, all off shots treated this morning saying that the count 2 countries have worked together successfully to promote prosperity and freedom, and that we will continue to do so for the wellbeing of our citizens. he said, the foreign minister and in a bare bulk, she's been the only leader i've seen who's really kind of touched on the fact that it will mean for a more uncomfortable and for years ahead. for the, for the german political leadership, she talked about the need despite these political differences that are the, to have frank, honest, an open and intensive discussions with our allies. that was what she said. christian, let me know who's the finance minister in the german government come from the liberal. she said that no, it was not the time for organ comments about to extend the hand of hand to the us

and, and really to, to, to use this an opportunity for diplomacy. he said, the leader of the opposition, frederick match them on who's in pull position to be the next chancellor when elections take place here. next year he said that this was a moment for germany. here he said foster. he watched as he wished at present from all the best and in his office because he said it may, it made a big difference. it would be truly important to me that he was successful. we talked about the need to that europe and jeremy really take much those into their own hands be i security the talking about security, their economic issues and really step up to the plate because they know that they're gonna have a much more difficult time. like with the present and from there's skipped school of need tools get screw up the transatlantic alliance. i'm really will make life much more difficult for jim. and he does the relationship between germany and the united states during the 1st trump presidency. it was in many ways acrimonious. there are tablets that by impose that effected the drum under manufacturers and then they would give us a status imposed by the european union as well. uh,

with trump a 2 point. oh, is that a thinking and believing that this might be slightly better given that the donald trump already has experience of a governance and seems better prepared this time round to come into a government then the 1st time around. it's not entirely sure whether anyone would come out and say today that it will be bad. so, but i think what they do have is they have experience the new kind of what, how he, how he behaves, that he's, as one senior politician said he's a rock tech so they know that. and so that, that, that can be, can become managed, not thoughts. as you see, europe in germany are hugely important trading allies. germany's us is germany largest trading all i us, but the number one. so anything that the us decides to do on the present from this i used to do with regard to, to terrace as a massive impact here, especially because families and exporting country out of the move and you've got a very sluggish economy. so there's really no appetite for anybody to mess up that,

that very fine balance to exist. and so the whole thing that they will accentuate the commonalities between the 2 countries century, the positive that they bring together that, that they're shared values, etc, and whole. but they can focus more on that and say, look, in the last 2 years we've done what you've asked for. they know that from one's just to step up and spend more on defense. they say we've done that, we're make, we're meeting the mitchell 2 percent target. we've invested heavily in defense. and the last 2 years since russia invaded ukraine, we will continue to do that. and there is even talk kate, of increasing that target be on 2 percent. so they're going to try and focus on all the positives and all of the shared values and all the common ground that have not talked too much about the fact that germany at the moment is simply more to the us than it is partners. and which is we know for trump is um, is a made a big bone of contention. there is a bo raging on your end. so the water in your crane and johnson that will actually

and others in his government have repeatedly stressed that germany is that whatever it takes, as long as it takes with that result of hold. if donald trump, as he has said, got to deal with vladimir 14 over the fate of ukraine with germany, be able to step up what the theme, the discussions in that direction. well, we will hear from all of the sites the chance of germany in the next hour, and we maybe hear what he has to say about the situation with ukraine. or we can see is that for administer island on, elena fair bulk arrived back from ukraine. this morning and she gave a statement and she told somebody to clean up was one of the, the main issues in our statements. she talked about the fact that no germany would remain at ukraine side, and that there would be continued support. you came on. she said that due to almost not due to the fact that, that there's a debate and generally about germany spending more money on your claim and doing that by boy. and that's kind of controversial here in germany. there's

a lot of people that thing, but germany shouldn't. burrell to, to, to support and to support your trade. and on, fundamentally, she said she basically lead ha, ha, ha, position. which is that, make sure that it should follow because it's important to freedom here. we also have the chief um, the chief width of the east, the sofa democrats, the government party from all the shows this morning saying that that that, that basically he would be against the dictated piece by donald trump, which is this idea of. and basically you came being forced, if you like to give up some of his territory that is in washington. so you can see that there's very wide differences between the 2 parties. and, and the question know is, where does all of the child stand on this? and he will be at the moment, he'll be in government until next 10 bustle, a lot of the time for, for post a potential solution there. so the question though is, where does all the shots come or does he come on close at the trump or close up to the analynn available to the, to the pro ukraine crowd in spelling. and for the moment we're waiting for all of

charles, it's all sort of germany to come out and address press conference that hasn't yet begun or we'd be watching off of that press conference in the meanwhile, thanks so much matthew. uh, for that conversation. and as matthew was mentioning, that i'm in a babble also had a response. she's also reacted to the news coming out of the united states. she congratulated donald trump as he appeared on the verge of winning the us a presidential election. but she did not have the us german officer had to go to political differences or i'm sitting with martin. see, i'm kind of very good morning. how does the americans have elected to you via donald trump? has one's election and week send all, congratulations on that item. need you room and the united states on closes cost and that, and a lot of sense of lantus a point i would try and take french has over $9.00 not been booked on the one specific party view at the same time democracy the us. and that's our democracy.

the voice in is that optic section. and also both features are the domestic situations and also it makes policy relationships recalibrate table, gemini, o, for that's a full future. married, kind of government remain flows and reliable. i love it, uses our offered as you can talk about what applies like into every good partnership is nevada, where it's against. undoubtedly there are political differences. when somebody almost attends eva and in particular the open exchange is more important than ever . future. ok, yagi. i'm going to turn that off and i'm paying how much the paintings for your p is as low as full resume. when you look on the fact that we are champion of freedom, international law is something to for i came to send in ukraine, but recently, much more than ever. ukraine has more than ever defended our shed and freedom. we

continue to be at the side just then as long as they lead us for a just and lasting peace and europe using season, which is to mid stream. such, please, will only be possible together with ukrainians with the europeans and with us a foot lenses for me. and for us it is clear that we your teens. no, for me i just, i pretty just refund will now have to take even more responsibility for security policy up to date tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for us and for all the children. yeah. for by that we are prepared for that one else. we give them half the nice and then that's the device. federal government has already laid important foundations and security policy in the past few years and, and it security policy and responsibilities. we have to ex, now investments in our european security must now be sold big and may bank this.

this also means that we have to put it often in the shackles we put on all selves, especially as far as investments and security and many and the you are concerned by not, not including in order to further strength from the u. within to in nature. this is not a substitute for all other transatlantic partnership. it's an investment in our shad transatlantic. publish it. you can still machines you because of these storming here the political times these on teams are all of us on needed on both sides of the atlantic. more than ever wished for our freedom, our prosperity, and our way of living and had all 4 of them just so that we can jointly phase up to the challenges of the global system. competition that is growing as a month. i would pop those can rely on so many in this context on top us in the u. s. in europe and of tacos in ukraine, kind of,

i talked to i to continue to work on that. and using women is especially now at this very moment, the responsibility of this federal government, thank you very much. i as the german foreign minister, i'm in a bad bulk responding to donald from becoming the 47th president of the united states. a short while back we just let you know that we had a we had a waiting, a press conference by a german johnson. the old i've sold. this should be happening a moment now. and when that begins, we will take you to that press conference in the meantime. if you're just joining us. the news coming out of the united states is face pharma. you as president under public and candidate donald trump, has been declared the official window of the us election. the associated press gold prompts victory after he won the key battleground states of wisconsin. putting him over the necessary 270 elect total votes, especially even before that trump address supporters in west palm beach, florida,

promising a new golden age for america because of the country to unite and said he will put a medic uh, 1st drum to him the republican policy success in the senate would have gained a majority throughout the night of juvenile some supporters took to the streets to celebrate from all, let's go across to the news of washington bureau chief n s f o n s. what's a long night and a long day it's been for you. what is your take on election night as well, that's a huge victory for donald trump. it did not only uh, kind of clear big stage each states easily. uh, he won, probably also the popular will with his party one the senate which is extremely

important for him because this allows him to stack his government this lawyer list to know who would do everything for him. it's very likely now that the, for example, pardons the january 6 rioters, he basically has a lot of power now in attend an, in his hands. and this comes, i thing for many, many of service and also many americans. as a surprise, everybody was talking 6 months that this will be a raise a certain outcome and that, that it might take a days before we really know who the president is. and here we are only a few hours in the new day in the united states. and the rest of the world knows that donald trump one specs, the white house you don't. trump was speaking to his supporters at the watch bought you. and one of the things he did talk about was about the board. he said that people should be able to enter the united states legally. now,

this is very different to the tone that he uptake him in the lead up to election day, right. he had said on the 1st day he'd be a dictator and he'd close the border. is this a shift in migration policy that we have seen in november? so it's very difficult to service the front because it, he saw a relative and one day he says that the other day he says that, i mean, i think what is clear that he uses really harsh rhetoric in the election campaign to vin, over those who are afraid of too many migrants coming into this country in the settings, both afraid the tumors. i'm just gonna have to interrupt you, my apologies, because we can head straight to berlin with johnson the own i sold, the german software is addressing the price. let's listen and clearly want the next president, congratulations on, on the not, not president. trump will take his office at

a time of major challenges and crises and finances stop and overcoming them. the united states and the president play a central role of the presidential and this is why in the presidential elections in the you as always have an impact beyond the american you, i'm really kind of show you just at the moment the stand, new american government was not yet on office of 15 years in many respects it will be strongly yes. i have to redefine its own cost for us. it's all the more important that we still use our competing communication channels to washington that we quickly build relationships at working level with the us and aligned our standpoints. certainly many things will be different on the government. led by donald trump, you always made that clear our messages all clear. firstly, let's gemini will remain a reliable trans to that and pick popping up by talk. we know about the contribution we make to this path to shop and we'll continue to make the will. this

also applies to the threats. russia represents, according to the view of alternate to have lies full security in lease on the, on the most atlantic space was discussed. and secondly, the european union must done together closely until act this way as a german johnson what, what's the call today? i had an exchange with the president chrome, tomorrow we will meet the of the heads of state and government. so in the future, we will closely align ourselves there and continue with that and then weeks to come pick up. well, you'll be, i've seen countries have taken more responsibility in the past years for the security of our continent told us it pulled us to train for the independence of europe in terms of economic and energy methods for these all and will remain a topics which we as europeans have common shad interest with us, we will build on that line. and this leads me to my 3rd point. additional partner shop for from bite of the transatlantic publish. it was the both sides across the

teams of you and did you ask, i'd like to include the big so you can some of the, the big economic not to find some spaces into related to gemini and the united states as a partnership that have grown of decades and publish them in the based on friendship all as indeed is under locked into purch no, and your relationships to us are closer than any other country. the young units, many american citizens have done your loops and this is why the applies. we're better off to get together, we can put into practice much more than against each other. and there's one la la fold. i want to click load with one of those. if you have closely followed and explaining the electric components. yes, we have seen how much the americans are split between the 2 big political camps and how much like family, friends and colleagues can be split, have that whole country and by conviction is it the country is over,

the bigger and stronger the close of the citizens on the block between each other, i wish that we in germany should stay together. we may have different political and societal views, but we are living in a single country. we have more than come in then separate says sold to belongs to this place for me. not just today. thank you for your attention. while that was a, a brief, uh and uh, when can i get to the point statement from uh, german tons to all that shows. uh, off the news coming out of the united states in the studio with me is uh, my, the, she's a senior policy fellow at the pen console informed decisions my that you've been with us and the students in the morning. thanks for that initial reactions to the speech from all levels. so i think if you kind of filtered through

his speech, the main concerned as will be the main concern of most of the europeans is a on security and ukraine and beyond trade. um and so the messages i think in his page are pointing exactly to that kind of big challenges that to europe in germany will have how to deal with ukraine and the security of the continents should uh, president trump in fact implement what he has been promising to do, and so he's saying that they are kids are spending more than their reliable security partners. these are all of the messages that obviously americans both accounts one to hear. and it's indeed, you know, on one hand, it's indeed true. since 2014 european natal, i'll allies have been spending considerably more on defense. they've been spending 150000000000 a year on defense. the number of countries that have reached the 2 percent

threshold from 2014 has grown from 3 to 23 and some are spending even to above. poland, for instance, for baltic states are closer to 4 percent. now the question is, is that enough? and is that going to allow germany and europeans to compensate for potential withdrawal of us security guarantees, whether for ukraine or generally for the work in constant, anita and i think it is, you know, our fellows that a so far had been working on the, on this and the conclusion is it's a good leap forward, but it's not nearly enough to compensate for years of under spending in comparison with other countries. but let's just have a quick, we continue discussing that. but then let's just bring in some reactions that are coming from other usually does. let's start with that. hunger is a followed by mr. victor all on who is a close thump allied posted on x, the following. the biggest come back in us political history,

congratulations to president donald trump on his an almost when a much needed victory for the was. then we had the french president, amount of the crawl treated in french, and this is a transmission. congratulations, president donald trump pretty to work together as we were able to do for, for you as we do all convictions and with mind with respect and ambition, formal peace and prosperity. and we also had australia. johnson called me, i'm a who wrote, congratulations to donald trump on the election victory, the united states, an important strategic partner for australia. we look forward to further expanding and strengthening our trans atlantic donations to successfully address global challenges. to get the, to my, to go there is a, with the european council on foreign relations. we just saw those reactions right there. and all of sold was also talking about making an offer to the united states . and the 1st of all is the german even remain a reliable, trans atlantic potter. and also that both sides new york and

the united states, profiting from of john's atlantic partnership does to us administration see it that way. um the next one i would say would seed quite differently. so they are aware of the sites and when did, but they including the vice president jay. the bands have repeatedly stated their kind of discontent to the fact that germany has not stepped up nearly fast enough or to the extent that it can given it's it cannot make weight. so they see much more need for german leadership on defense spending and, and basically the purchase of the equipment on trade. um president trump is as we know from his 1st. so i'm obsessed with the you're the us trade deficit. uh,

worldwide uh, in particularly his upsets with a trade deficit with the u. one within the u. germany. this is both the case and the car industry, obviously, but also other sectors in europe is america's i think, 3rd or 4th biggest agricultural partner. uh and um, you know, advisors around just before my us trade representative lie, ties are high very much on their way. there are the trade deficits in agriculture. and so their appetite is in fact to reduce this trade deficit and they have already pledged president trump has pledged to do so by imposing universal baseline parents on all of goods, including those from europe, which would start at 10 percent and maybe go up and he is also pledged to impose 60 percent terrace, additional terrace, and all goods from china, which of course, as a side effect of that happens, would basically mean rerouting much of these chinese exports to the european

markets that are already now suffering from china. soc where they are. kenneth manufacturers are really having a hard time competing. so if germany in europe find themselves kind of stuck between tariffs protecting the american market where some of the largest export scope plus the diversion of goods from china. this is going to look more like competition than a partnership. we leave at the for the moment. actually, this is not the last word on how these relationships will pan out. but interesting times i had for sure all my, the real guy from the open concept of relations. thanks so much for coming in and bring that down for us. pleasure. it was real pleasure being with you. thank you. now let's just take a look at some more international reactions that you we have. you can't present one of the meet the dimansky who was also quick to post. he's congratulations on x. and this is what he said. i appreciate president trump's commitments to the base to

strength approach and global affairs. this is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in ukraine. closer i'm hopeful that people to put it into action together. we look forward to and you know, of a strong united states of america under president trump's decisive leadership. we rely on continued strong bipartisan support for ukraine in the united states. but is it more from the, the connelly in keep make it good to see you. we just saw president the dimansky is a, a reactions that he was talking about uh, hoping for bipartisan support in the us. but there is no bipartisan support on ukraine who's there as well as the rest. i think there are still many republicans who are supportive of you kinds worth it. people like me to recall and then we'll kind of establishment publications. and we've also seen people who are

more, maybe attractive to the kind of more mega pod and probably can talk to people like forest johnson from a prime minister and those of russia. pretty political figures trying to kind of engage those people, especially jolts and trying to explain to them why you credit much as to the us. and i think you know that those efforts are going to continue. right. this is an interaction with you guys. they'll get a vote, so they have to work with whoever the american people votes for. and we've seen, let's get his most recent visit to the us, desperate to get a meeting with trump getting one with trump in the end. and also because of the fact that there is a lot of baggage there between them because of that 1st impeachment that trump went through over claims that he forced soleski was trying to put pressure into lensky to investigate on to bite. and joe biden, some and his business in ukraine. so there is a kind of mounted decline there in terms of improving the kind of atmospherics between the trump camp and ukraine. and we're seeing, let's keep trying to do that. and there was a hope that somehow you could just to your basic,

throw the kind of just pieces off of the board and offer some kind of a more unexpected approach is maybe escalate help ukraine to put up the pressure on russian on the battlefield at some see quite a kind of, you know, small hope for now, but the trying to look on the bright side that i have a little bit currently in case. thanks so much. that was nicole speaking to us uh, from uh, the ukrainian capital keith about the reaction from ukraine in president of all or do me a so lensky. and if you're just joining us, this is what has happened in the united states. donald trump has won the us presidency defeating common law. harris from has addressed supporters in florida and promising a new golden age for america and saying he has won an unprecedented and file for mandates to govern. he's been receiving

congratulations from jonathan leaders, including from a gentleman john to hold off schultz with just a short 5 back, held a press conference and said that it is important that germany business communications with the the new uh team that is going to transition into the white house, and you also hoped that germany's offer of remaining a reliable fonts atlantic partner is something that can appeal to the new us administration. john specials, talked about the european union standing together and said that he had also spoken to french president emmanuel maxwell. and you also made the page that the united states realized that both sides, that as you and the united states, appropriate from these transplanted relationships. that is the news at the moment. they be more coverage on this through the day to stay with the new news. i'm

british managing invalid. thank you so much for joining us today and the season. the take a look around havana and you can still see signs of the us auto industry is glorious past, but some of the old calls won't get you very far off. and the fact teresa once built them now line and ribbons. will this also be the fate of germany's largest car manufacturer of b w. how's it failed to recognize the signs of the times? also amazed today. sustainable kerosene will flying soon be green of solar panels. how difficult holiday to recycle. i accept so i like to how to get ships to great heights.
