Washington: Commenting on Trump's victory in the US presidential elections, former US President Barack Obama acknowledged that "it is not the result we had hoped for." According to National Iraqi News Agency, Obama congratulated Trump and said, in a joint statement with his wife Michelle: "Clearly this is not the result we had hoped for, given our deep differences with the Republican candidate on a whole range of issues." He added: "But living in a democracy means recognizing that our point of view will not always win, and being willing to accept a peaceful transfer of power."
