President Paudel congratulates US president-elect Trump

Kathmandu, November 6 — President Ramchandra Paudel extended his congratulations to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday.

In a post on his official X account, @OOP_Nepal, he wrote: "Warm Congratulations, President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your historic win! Wishing you all success for your second term as the President of the USA! I am confident that Nepal-US relations will further be strengthened during your tenure."

Trump, 78, recaptured the White House on Wednesday by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency, Edison Research projected, following a campaign of dark rhetoric that deepened the polarization in the country.
