"Trump, of course, is a power. No matter how I feel about him, he is great. It was hard to believe that he could win. They assassinated and pressurised him, wanted to put him in jail, but he has made his way like a bulldozer – doing that after he had worked unsuccessfully, as it may seem. As it may (!) seem! It is his personal feat in the name of the American people. Kamala... As regards her, she is a heroic woman, she does not need to cry. As I have seen, she is upset: she lost. America has matured to elect a black president, but not to elect a woman. America is not ready for this. She has been going virtually on the same level as that ‘bulldozer’. She did everything possible and impossible. She is great, so she should in no case cry,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.

The Head of State also drew attention to the fact that, after the defeat, the Democrats did not urge their supporters to go to protests or attack the authorities – which, according to the President, can be a lesson for the fugitive opposition. "After a failure, it is simply needed to continue working. This is a good example set by the Democratic Party for the whole world,” he noted.

At the same time, Aleksandr Lukashenko said that he did not care who had won the US election. "I know that I have a piece of land that I have to care about and protect, I have my people. I am just sharing my opinion. I do not care who won there, but it matters for me what kind of policy America will pursue, since it accounts for a third of the world economy, and the economy is the key,” he stressed.

The Head of State noted that, if being elected in Belarus, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris would not have won votes at all, because of the strange policy that is being pursued in the United States. “This is a purely American version, and it took place. This is their business," the President added.
