On November 6, former President, Trump has been cleared the 47th US President with victory over current Vice President, Kamala Harris
Earning over the required 270 electoral votes, Republican Donald Trump has won the US general election on Wednesday, November 6. With a current total of 277 votes, Trump has earned over 70 million votes from US citizens.
His competitor, Democrat Kamala Harris, currently has 224 electoral votes after losing a number of the swing states to Trump.
Irish economic analysts are concerned as to how Trump’s policies may impact the Irish economy, as we heavily rely on US foreign direct investment (FDI) and the US export market.
Taoiseach Simon Harris has congratulated Trump and said that Ireland will work “to deepen and strengthen the historic and unbreakable bonds” between the US and Ireland.
