The ninth of November was a huge day that not only had Americans anticipating with bated breath, but also the rest of the world. The outcome of the United States' 2016 presidential election would decide not only the future of America, but also the future of everyone else as well. Republican Donald Trump's triumphant win over Democrat Hilary Clinton was a shock to everyone. This was a man whose face was slandered with jokes throughout all platforms of social media, and now he is going to be the president of the United States. Nothing but that fact is set in stone, and despite the clamoring protests of the nation - the United States has its new president. On a global scale, it may just lead to more radical changes that this century may or may not be ready for.

Europe

In the wake of 'Brexit,' (Britain leaving the European Union), Europe has its own upcoming elections to keep an eye on. Germany and France will both be electing new leaders next year, and with Trump's win, the resurgence of right-wing parties is plausible. Right-wing politics, also known as Far-right politics, are known to be focused on tradition and are heavy promoters of nationalism and opposition to immigration - characteristics similar to that of Trump's campaign.

Up until recently, Germany's elections typically saw two parties - the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party. Due to a recent a poll however, it shows that the playing field has been leveled and five parties rose to prominence than the usual two: CDU, SPD, the Greens, Left, and the Far-right.

As for France, their own Far-right leader goes by the name Marine Le Pen who previously appeared to have no chance at being considered for candidacy until now. Her National Front party runs on the platform of rejection of globalization, free trade, and strengthening of national borders.

In short, Trump's win in the US elections could be the spark to begin a period of isolationism and nationalism in Europe.

Latin America

Everyone has heard of the infamous 'wall,' but considering the economic ties the United States has with its South American countries, a 'wall' may not be possible at all. Instead, a hit to the economy might occur. Mexico, in particular, is one of the States' biggest trading partner. With Trump's track record on the treatment and opinion of Hispanics and immigrants put into consideration, the US might want to brace for a possible split in their partnership.

Middle East and Russia

Besides the wall, Trump has become famous for his anti-Muslim tirades, advocating bans and generalizing them as terrorists. Middle Eastern relations are under tension already, and with his rise to presidency, it may mean cutting ties with them which would be less than savory for our oil businesses.

As for Russia, leader Vladimir Putin was actually accused of tampering with the US presidential election, but claimed to have done otherwise. He has, however, been known to have personally declared a note of congratulations to the Republican leader. Yet this does not necessarily mean closer ties and mended bridges. Putin, no doubt, considers Trump's wild card factor as a chance to extend Russia's influence in the world.

Asia

From the beginning, Trump declared his desire for economic independence, going far enough to call the free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico as one of the worst deals ever made. However, he does not stop there and also called the Trans-Pacific Partnership as another deal which the US did not really benefit from. This partnership mentioned is particularly targeted at China and its Southeastern neighbors.

China is one of the largest powerhouses of the world right now, and Trump is very wary of them. "We can't continue to allow China to rape our country," he had previously declared and alludes to possibly raising taxes on Chinese products to discourage investment on its exports. Reason why is because he had claimed that China was a currency manipulator, meaning that the country purposefully has a low currency to allow for cheaper and more competitive exports. Also, while they are not actually a part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Trump suspects that it will eventually join it with time.

In short...

Everything is in theory for now. Trump's deciding win on this year's election marks the end of predictability and stability. On a global scale, it can affect the world for the good or bad. For certain, however, it won't be just be America that will be affected by these unforseeable upcoming changes.
