Here’s what to know: * Electoral vote count: Trump’s win in Wisconsin put him over the 270 threshold needed to clinch the presidency. See the results. * Trump’s victory speech: In earlier election remarks at Florida’s Palm Beach Convention Center, Trump vowed not to rest “until we have delivered the strong and prosperous America.” * How does the AP call races?

In response to growing threats posed by nuclear-armed North Korea, Yoon’s government has worked closely with the Biden administration to strengthen the countries’ combined military exercises and solidify three-way military cooperation with Japan. * Jordan’s King Abdullah II congratulated Trump, saying in a post on X that he was “looking forward” to working with Trump “in service of regional and global peace and stability for all.” Jordan has been a key mediator for the U.S. over the past year as officials have sought to reach a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas. 13 min ago Bitcoin hits new high as investors bet Trump’s victory will benefit cryptocurrencies By KELVIN CHAN Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Bitcoin jumped nearly 8% to a record $75,345.00 in early trading on Wednesday, before falling back and was recently trading at around $73,700.00. Trump was previously a crypto skeptic but changed his mind and embraced cryptocurrencies ahead of the election. He pledged to make America “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he courted crypto fans at a bitcoin conference in July. He also launched World Liberty Financial, a new venture with family members to trade cryptocurrencies. 19 min ago Here’s how leaders in Africa are reacting to Trump’s victory By MORIAH BALINGIT Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print * Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who has been sanctioned by the U.S. over alleged links to diamond smuggling and for political repression, congratulated Trump on the social platform X, writing: “Congratulations to President elect @realdonaldtrump on your election victory. The world needs more leaders who speak for the people. Zimbabwe stands ready to work with you and the American people to build a better, more prosperous and more peaceful world.” * Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed wrote on X, “Congratulations to President Donald Trump on your election victory and comeback. I look forward to working together to further strengthen the relationship between our two countries during your term.” * Somalia’s Hassan Sheikh wrote on X, “I congratulate you President-elect of the United States of America H.E @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. I look forward to continuing our two nations’ strong collaboration and partnership to advance peace, security, and common prosperity for our two nations.” 20 min ago A Decision Desk update on Wisconsin By The Associates Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Trump won an election that will return him to the White House by winning Wisconsin, the same state that put him over the top when he won in 2016. The difference again came in Milwaukee, after nearly every other county in the state had wrapped up their count. The early morning update in Milwaukee cut into Trump’s lead, but not by enough that it would provide Harris with a path to victory. ▶ Read more on why AP called Wisconsin and the White House for Trump 25 min ago A Decision Desk update on Nevada By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Nevada has stopped reporting votes for now. Check back as counties will resume reporting later Wednesday. 27 min ago Abortion proposals win in 7 states By FARNOUSH AMIRI Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Despite major losses for Democrats in the Senate and White House, the party’s central campaign issue surrounding protecting reproductive rights fared much better across the country as abortion rights advocates won on measures in seven states. The last state to pass such a measure by early Wednesday was Montana, where abortion rights advocates pushed to enshrine abortion rights until fetal viability into the state constitution as a safeguard against future rollbacks. Though there’s no defined time frame, doctors say viability is sometime after 21 weeks. In three others — Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota — voters rejected measures that would have created a constitutional right to abortion. 28 min ago Montana enshrines abortion rights By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Montana voters chose to protect the right to an abortion in their state constitution. The ballot initiative sought to enshrine a 1999 Montana Supreme Court ruling that said the constitutional right to privacy protects the right to a pre-viability abortion by a provider of the patient’s choice. Though there’s no defined time frame, doctors say viability is sometime after 21 weeks. The Associated Press declared the amendment was approved at 6:01 a.m. EST Wednesday. 32 min ago Voting issues Ballot counting in some of Montana’s larger cities delayed by late voter registration By MATTHEW BROWN Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Some people who lined up before polls closed waited hours in frigid, snowy weather to cast their votes. Roughly 200 people were still in line after midnight at the courthouse in Gallatin, one of the state’s largest counties, some four hours after polls closed. By 3 a.m., about 20 people remained. Election officials did not plan to begin releasing results until every voter had gone through. “I’m tired,” Tatyana Deshields, 22, said after she’d waited in line for more than four hours with some friends. “They had to tap me to tell me to keep moving.” 45 min ago FIFA’s president congratulates Trump By GRAHAM DUNBAR Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print FIFA President Gianni Infantino reacts after he delivers a speech during the Asian Football Confederation or AFC Annual Award Seoul 2023, ceremony at the Grand Peace Palace in Seoul, South Korea, Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024. (AP Photo/Lee Jin-man) Read More “We will have a great FIFA World Cup and a great FIFA Club World Cup in the United States of America! Football Unites the World” FIFA president Gianni Infantino wrote on his Instagram account in a message of congratulations to Trump. Infantino had tried to build close ties to the first Trump administration, making at least two visits to the White House and joining then-President Trump at a dinner event in Davos, Switzerland during the World Economic Forum in January 2020. The United States will host most of the games at the 2026 World Cup in men’s soccer. 45 min ago In Kamala Harris’ ancestral village, disappointment By SHEIKH SAALIQ Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Villagers watch results of U.S. elections on a television in Thulasendrapuram, the ancestral village of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, in Tamil Nadu state, India, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024. (AP Photo/Aijaz Rahi) Read More There was a sense of disappointment in Thulasendrapuram, a tiny village in southern India, where Kamala Harris’ mother’s family has ancestral ties and where people were rooting for the Democratic nominee for president. Residents in this village, who were keenly following the election results on their smartphones, were left silent as initial enthusiasm faded, even before the presidential race call, but many said they were proud that she put up a good fight. The villagers were hoping for a Harris victory and had Tuesday held special Hindu prayers for her at a local temple where Harris’ name is engraved in a list of donors. Some were also planning to blast off fireworks and distribute sweets had she won. “We are sad about it. But what can we do? It was in the hands of the voters of that country. They made Trump win. We can only wish Trump well for his victory,” said J. Sudhakar. As results became clearer, a gaggle of reporters that was stationed outside the village temple also quickly scattered away. The village — site of a brief media spectacle and euphoria since Tuesday — became almost deserted. 53 min ago Investors react to Trump’s victory in US election by buying on the German stock market By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print The Dax rose significantly by 1.5% to 19,544 points in early Xetra trading, German news agency dpa agency reported. Robert Halver, Head of Capital Market Analysis at Baader Bank said that “since Donald Trump stands for the economy, it can be assumed that stock markets around the world will go up. With one exception: China, because he (Donald Trump) will definitely impose tariffs at least on China. That will certainly make life difficult for the Chinese.” “The nice thing is that European stocks, German stocks and export stocks can also benefit. Because we are still so well positioned in the industrial sector that we are helping America to become big again in the industrial sector, so to speak,” he added. 54 min ago WATCH: Trump wins the White House in political comeback rooted in appeals to frustrated voters By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Donald John Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, marking his return to the White House after serving as the 45th president of the United States. 55 min ago A Decision Desk update on Wisconsin By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Trump won an election that will return him to the White House by winning Wisconsin, the same state that put him over the top when he won in 2016. The difference again came in Milwaukee, after nearly every other county in the state had wrapped up their count. The early morning update in Milwaukee cut into Trump’s lead, but not by enough that it would provide Harris with a path to victory. 56 min ago No info on whether Putin will congratulate Trump, Kremlin says By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Traditional Russian wooden dolls, called Matryoshka, depicting Republican presidential nominee an former US President Donald Trump, center left, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are displayed for sale at a souvenir shop in St. Petersburg, Russia, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. (AP Photo/Dmitri Lovetsky) Read More Ahead of the presidential race call, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said he had no information on whether Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to congratulate Donald Trump but emphasized that Moscow views the U.S. as an “unfriendly” country. Peskov reaffirmed the Kremlin’s claim that the U.S. support for Ukraine amounted to its involvement in the conflict, telling reporters: “Let’s not forget that we are talking about the unfriendly country that is both directly and indirectly involved in a war against our state.” Asked if Putin’s failure to congratulate Trump could hurt ties, Peskov responded that the Russia-U.S. relations already are at the “lowest point in history,” adding that it will be up to the new U.S. leadership to change the situation. He noted Putin’s statements about Moscow’s readiness for a “constructive dialogue based on justice, equality and readiness to take mutual concerns into account.” Peskov noted Trump’s campaign statements about his intention to end wars, saying that “those were important statements, but now after the victory, while getting ready to enter the Oval Office or entering the Oval Office, statements could sometimes change.” 56 min ago WATCH: Trump reclaims White House - AP Explains By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print AP explains after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday in an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. 11:36 AM CET Trump is elected the 47th president By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump points to the crowd at an election night watch party, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) Read More Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency. The victory validates his bare-knuckle approach to politics. He attacked his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, in deeply personal — often misogynistic and racist — terms as he pushed an apocalyptic picture of a country overrun by violent migrants. The coarse rhetoric, paired with an image of hypermasculinity, resonated with angry voters — particularly men — in a deeply polarized nation. As president, he’s vowed to pursue an agenda centered on dramatically reshaping the federal government and retribution against his perceived enemies. 11:35 AM CET AP Race Call: Donald Trump elected 47th president of the United States By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print 11:34 AM CET Race Call AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins Wisconsin By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Former President Donald Trump won the key state of Wisconsin on Wednesday, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a critical battleground. The win delivers 10 Electoral College votes to Trump. He narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, becoming the first Republican since Ronald Reagan to capture the state. He lost it in 2020 to Democrat Joe Biden. Both Harris and Trump made Wisconsin a central focus of their campaigns. In 2020, Trump attempted to overturn his loss in the state through lawsuits and recounts, but failed. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 5:34 a.m. EST. 11:22 AM CET A Decision Desk update on Michigan By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Another big update from Wayne County and it’s the same story: Harris continues to cut into Trump’s lead. This update of close to 240,000 votes trimmed Trump’s advantage to just under 2 points. Smaller updates that followed in a few places pushed it back to more than 2 points. The race for the state’s 15 electoral votes is still too early to call. 11:20 AM CET German, Czech leaders comment on US election as vote counting continues By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, KAREL JANICEK Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022.

We will continue to do so for the wellbeing of our citizens,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a post on the social platform X. Meanwhile, Czech Republic’s President Petr Pavel said he valued the country’s “partnership with the United States” and was looking forward to “continued cooperation in addressing shared global challenges, including supporting our common allies and upholding European security,” Pavel said. “Our Transatlantic bond remains strong.” 10:33 AM CET WATCH: Top moments of the day as Donald Trump is on the cusp of election victory By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Donald Trump is on the verge of clinching the presidency Wednesday after winning Pennsylvania, putting him just three electoral votes shy of defeating Kamala Harris to secure his return to the White House. 10:17 AM CET In Pictures: The world watches as US election results trickle in Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Howard University students watch live election results during a watch party near an election night event for Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris at Howard University in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.

The reason: Harris won the update by a margin of 46 percentage points, allowing her to cut into Trump’s lead in Michigan. He’s still ahead with more votes left to count. The race remains too early to call. 9:59 AM CET Zelenskyy says he appreciates Trump’s ‘peace through strength’ mentality By HANNA ARHIROVA Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print FILE - Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump, right, and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shake hands during their meeting at Trump Tower, on Sept. 27, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson, File) Read More Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he appreciates Trump’s commitment to “peace through strength” as the Republican presidential nominee closes in on the electoral votes needed to win the White House. “I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine,” said Zelenskyy on X. Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is interested “in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that will benefit both of our nations.” “We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership,” said Zelenskyy. “I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer. I am hopeful that we will put it into action together,” he said. 9:57 AM CET European Commission president says she’s looking forward to working with Trump By LORNE COOK Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print The European Union’s top official says she’s looking forward to working with Trump again as the former president is on the cusp of victory in the U.S. presidential race. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the E.U. and U.S. “are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens.” “Let us work together on a transatlantic partnership that continues to deliver for our citizens. Millions of jobs and billions in trade and investment on each side of the Atlantic depend on the dynamism and stability of our economic relationship,” she said in a statement. The tariffs that Trump slapped on steel and aluminum exports during his last term roiled the bloc’s economy. 9:51 AM CET WATCH: ‘God spared my life for a reason’ By The Associated Press Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Republican Donald Trump addressed his supporters early Wednesday at his election watch party in West Palm Beach, Florida, saying, “God spared my life for a reason.” 9:48 AM CET In Pictures: From small towns to big cities, voters exercise democracy’s most fundamental freedom Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Voters fill out their ballots at a polling site at the First Presbyterian Church of Dearborn, on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, in Dearborn, Mich.

It’s a major win for abortion-rights supporters in the presidential battleground state who sought to expand access beyond 15 weeks. The Arizona amendment is the sixth measure to protect or expand abortion rights that has passed so far this election. It comes after the Arizona Supreme Court allowed the enforcement of an 1864 law banning nearly all abortions earlier this year, but then the Legislature quickly repealed it. 9:35 AM CET NATO leader looks forward to working with Trump By LORNE COOKE Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says he looks forward to working with Trump “to advance peace through strength” as the former president closes in on the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House. “We face a growing number of challenges globally, from a more aggressive Russia, to terrorism, to strategic competition with China, as well the increasing alignment of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran,” Rutte said. “Working together through NATO helps to deter aggression, protect our collective security and support our economies,” he added. Rutte also praised Trump for his work during his first term to persuade U.S. allies in NATO to ramp up defense spending. He noted that around two-thirds of the 32 NATO allies are due to meet the organization’s main defense spending target this year. 9:34 AM CET Nebraska deals another blow to abortion rights advocates By FARNOUSH AMIRI Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print Voters in Nebraska rejected a ballot measure to expand abortion rights in the state. The measure would have enshrined in the Nebraska Constitution the right to have an abortion until viability, or later to protect the health of the pregnant woman. It was one of two competing abortion measures to appear on the ballot. The other measure, which passed, instead enshrines the state’s current 12-week abortion ban into the state constitution and allows for the possibility of stricter bans. 9:33 AM CET Nevada OKs abortion rights measure but won’t go into effect until 2026 By FARNOUSH AMIRI Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print As the vote count for president continues in Nevada, a ballot measure to enshrine the battleground state’s abortion rights in the state constitution received its first nod of approval. Voters must also approve the ballot question in 2026 in order to amend the state constitution. The political action committee Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom organized the ballot initiative and gathered enough signatures to put the question before voters. Although a 1990 state law makes abortion available up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, supporters in Nevada and elsewhere have been pressing to strengthen abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. 9:15 AM CET World leaders offer their congratulations to Trump By ANGELA CHARLTON Share Share * Copy Link copied * Email * Facebook * X * Reddit * LinkedIn * Pinterest * Flipboard * Print The AP’s current count has Trump three electoral votes shy of winning the White House, though he is leading in key battleground states. “Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!” wrote Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on X. “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America.” French President Emmanuel Macron posted on X: “Ready to work together as we were able to do during four years.
