The 45th President of the United States

Against all the odds, however, Mr. Donald Trump has finally become the 45th President of the United States of America, which of course has made not only most of the US citizens but also people of every continent in the world shocked and bewildered.

Although I am a foreigner living in Seoul, South Korea, I was compelled to stay tuned with CNN all day long on November 9th (Wednesday) to watch updates of the US presidential election results with a particular interest. All the more so because the GOP candidate, Mr. Donald Trump, during his election campaign, strongly expressed his dissatisfaction especially on defense issue of the US allies such as Germany, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia treating as if these countries were freeloaders in terms of each nation’s defense. In addition, he kept insisting that he would restructure the free trade deals that the US government had already signed with the countries concerned..

For this reason, a country like South Korea facing a foe that hasn’t given up the ambition of a forceful unification, cannot but pays significant attention to the stubborn insistence the US President-elect has repeatedly urged.

Anyway, on the occasion of Mr. Donald Trump’s victory becoming the 45th President of the United States, I, as a citizen of South Korea, would like to offer my warmest congratulations and sincerely hope that the historical relationship between the two nations the Republic of Korea and the United States will go like clockwork without a break in the future.

May God bless America!
