Hello, I'm Lucy Hawkings from the BBC World Service.
This is the Global Story.
Donald Trump is the winner in what could be the most consequential US Presidential election in recent history.
His victory comes in the context of multiple ongoing conflicts around the world and persistent instability in major global economies.
International leaders are flocking to congratulate Mr.
Trump, but how might their governments be reacting behind closed doors?
Today, we'll be asking how the newly minted President elect could make his presence felt in the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle east, in China, Europe and the rest of the world.
With me today is our diplomatic correspondent, James Landau.
Hi, James.
Hi.
And what a result came quicker than many thought it would.
And I know you've been speaking to your contacts and embassies and residents around the world all week.
Do you think there's going to be an element of shock to this result of surprise anyway?
