Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election led to mixed Arab, regional and international reactions, ranging between welcoming, worry and caution. Such attitudes are attributed to his own statements during the election campaign, which were described as controversial and supremacist towards the world. Among these were the following: refusing Muslims' visas to the US; constructing a wall along the borders with Mexico, who should also finance it; re-building the national economy in a way that harms partner states in the global economy; and enhancing and expanding his country's nuclear capabilities. Firstly, the Arab countries cautiously welcomed Trump's takeover, hoping to consolidate cooperation with Washington as its strategic allies in the region. At the regional level, there were different reactions. Iran, for instance, expressed concern of his decline from the nuclear accord as he had promised, calling him to respect international agreements. In contrast, as it found positive stances from him, Turkey hailed his victory. As for the Hebrew state, Prime Minister Netanyahu called him 'a true friend of Israel.' However, the states of Europe, Asia and Latin America were mainly concerned. In their congratulation statements, they called for a more balanced policy towards the US partners in terms of keeping international peace and security. Bearing in mind his criticisms of Europe, China and some world organizations - like the UN and NATO - they urged him to observe international accords and promote economic and political coordination. The election result made the world live a state of suspense to Trump's formal inauguration as US President on January 20, 2017. His previous remarks left many unanswered questions about his plan and about how his foreign policy would affect the future relations with other world countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
