Ex center-right premier Silvio
Berlusconi on Wednesday congratulated newly elected U.S.
President Donald Trump.
"I am certain the president chosen by the American people
will be able to guarantee the difficult role of the United
States as the leader of the free world with authoritativeness
and balance," Berlusconi said in a statement.
"I have always been and always been the United States' most
loyal ally in Europe".
Berlusconi, who leads the center-right Forza Italia (FI)
party, added the "great American democracy" is a key point of
reference for "all men" in the midst of current threats to peace
and security.
