Donald Trump, 70, is set to become the next US president following what has been dubbed his 鈥榮tunning victory鈥� over Democrat Hillary Clinton. He claimed victory in the key battlegrounds of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, defying pre-election polls that placed his rival Clinton as the likely winner after months of campaigning.

According to a BBC article, global markets plummeted, with the US dollar diving and gold prices surging following the US election results.

Trump鈥檚 presidential race has been described as one that provoked controversy for comments about illegal immigrants, Muslims, and free trade deals.

Addressing his supporters in the early hours of Wednesday, the new president-elect called for unity saying that it鈥檚 now time for America 鈥渢o bind the wounds of division."

According to an AFP article, he pledged to be the president of all Americans, while he paid tribute to his defeated opponent. Clinton was said to have called Trump with congratulations on his victory.

"Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country," Trump was quoted as saying by the AFP.

Hillary Clinton, 69, was hoping to become America's first woman president but it鈥檚 Trump -- real estate tycoon, former reality TV star and political newcomer -- who will become the 45^th President of the United States. He succeeds the nation鈥檚 first black president, Barrack Obama, who spent two four-year terms in office.

Trump will be the first president with no political, diplomatic or military executive experience to enter the White House.聽
