After a long, ugly, messy election campaign that had both Americans and the rest of the world on edge, the shocking, jaw-dropping defeat of Hillary Clinton put the suspense to rest. Americans have made their final choice, and the world now has to figure out how to work with a new US Commander in Chief with no prior experience in foreign affairs, one who has adopted a controversial position on most global issues like international trade, immigration and counter-terrorism.
