European Parliament
President Martin Schulz on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump
for his election as the United States' 45th president and
expressed the hope that he will respect fundamental rights.
"It will be hard, harder than with previous
administrations", Sculz told Europe 1 radio, adding that Trump
is "the freely elected president" and "we must respect the
future president of the United States".
"I hope we will find a slot to cooperate", the EP president
also said after Trump defeated his highly favored rival Hillary
Clinton in the race for the White House.
"Electoral campaigns are different from politics", continued
Schulz, expressing the hope for a "return to rationality" and
that Trump will respect the American constitution.
"We are ready to cooperate", he concluded.
Schulz also told German State broadcaster ARD that "the US
system is strong enough to withstand Donald Trump as president
and to integrate him".
