Just In- Donald Trump elected US President and invited to White House


Donald Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States – and Barack Obama has invited him
to the White House to discuss his transition to power.
The anti-establishment outsider stunned the world and upset the status quo by defeating Hillary Clinton in one of the most divisive elections in modern US history.
Sitting President Mr Obama called his successor to congratulate him on his victory and the pair will meet on Thursday.
He also called Mrs Clinton to express his “admiration for the strong campaign she waged throughout the country”.

White voters hand Mr Trump a US-style Brexit, beating his rival’s coalition of women, minorities and young people, say exit polls.
  
A triumphant Mr Trump walked on stage earlier to deliver his victory speech in New York to chants of “USA, USA!”
Victories in swing states such as Florida and North Carolina took him beyond the 270 Electoral College votes required to take the White House.
The celebrity businessman pledged to bind the wounds of division and called on Republicans and Democrats to come together after a “nasty” presidential race.
Mr Trump paid tribute to his rival for a hard-fought campaign and promised to be “president to all Americans”.
“The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer,” he said. “I promise you I will not let you down.”
Mr Trump will not be inaugurated until 20 January – but thoughts are already turning to how his presidency will unfold after his at-times inflammatory rhetoric, as well as promises to build a wall at the Mexican border and to ban Muslims from entering the US.
