Nations worldwide are reacting to Donald Trump's march to the White House with a mixture of praise and dread.

Here are snapshots of the sentiment around the globe:

RUSSIA
President Vladimir Putin sent Mr Trump a telegram of congratulation on winning the presidential election.
In a brief statement, the Kremlin said Mr Putin expressed "his hope to work together for removing Russian-American relations from their crisis state".
Mr Putin also said he had confidence in "building a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington that is based on principles of equality, mutual respect and a real accounting of each other's positions, in the interests of our peoples and the world community".
Earlier, the lower house of parliament applauded the result.
State news agency RIA-Novosti said Vyacheslav Novikov, a member of the foreign affairs committee from the governing United Russia party, addressed the State Duma, saying: "Three minutes ago, Hillary Clinton acknowledged her defeat in the US presidential elections and just a second ago, Trump began his speech as president-elect. I congratulate all of you on this."
The chamber, where the pro-Kremlin party holds an overwhelming majority, then broke into applause, the report said.

MEXICO
"It's DEFCON 2," said Mexican analyst Alejandro Hope. "Probably something as close to a national emergency as Mexico has faced in many decades.
"It depends if he means what he says and if he can do what he claims he wants to do. A massive deportation campaign could really put some stress on Mexican border communities. A renegotiation of Nafta (North American Free Trade Agreement) could seriously hobble the Mexican economy. It could create a lot of uncertainty. Financial markets could suffer."

CHINA
Chinese state media outlets cast the US election as the embodiment of America's democracy in crisis, in contrast to China's perceived stability under authoritarian rule.
The state-run Xinhua News Agency said the campaign had highlighted that "the majority of Americans are rebelling against the US's political class and financial elites".
The official Communist Party newspaper People's Daily said the presidential election had revealed an "ill democracy".
But some Chinese participants at a US Embassy event in Beijing welcomed a Trump presidency.
Blogger Wang Yiming said the Republican Party has been more willing to demonstrate American leadership globally, and he hoped a Republican president would do more to encourage freedom of speech in China.

GERMANY
Defence minister Ursula von der Leyen called the vote "a big shock" and "a vote against Washington, against the establishment".
She said that while many questions remain open, "we Europeans obviously know that as partners in the Nato, Donald Trump will naturally ask, 'what are you achieving for the alliance', but we will also ask, 'what's your stand toward the alliance'.


FRANCE
Populist anti-immigrant politician Marine Le Pen, who is hoping to ride France's own anti-establishment sentiment to victory in spring presidential elections, tweeted her support to the "American people, free!".
Foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault expressed concern about Mr Trump and said: "We don't want a world where egoism triumphs."
France's Socialist government had openly endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Mr Ayrault said European politicians should pay attention to the message from Trump voters. "There is a part of our electorate that feels ... abandoned," including people who feel "left behind" by globalisation, he said.

MIDDLE EAST
A senior Palestinian official said he does not expect US positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to change under Mr Trump.
Saeb Erekat, an adviser to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, said the Republican and Democratic parties are both committed to a two-state solution.
The Palestinians want to establish a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in 1967. Gaps between Mr Abbas and Israel's hawkish leader on any border deal remain wide.
Mr Erekat said a two-state solution is "in the American national interest, and I think this will not change with the coming administration".
However, Mr Trump has proposed moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem, even though Washington has not recognised Israel's annexation of parts of the city.

CUBA
Communist Party member and noted economist and political scientist Esteban Morales told the Telesur network that Cubans "must be worried because I think this represents a new chapter".
Carlos Alzugaray, a political scientist and retired Cuban diplomat, said Mr Trump's victory could please some hard-liners in the Cuban leadership who worried that the country was moving too close to the United States too quickly.
Normalisation of relations has set off a tourism boom in Cuba and visits by hundreds of executives from the US and dozens of other nations newly interested in doing business on the island.
Mr Trump has promised to reverse Barack Obama's opening with Cuba unless President Raul Castro agrees to more political freedom on the island, a concession considered a virtual impossibility.

TURKEY
Justice minister Bekiz Bozdag said the change of presidency will not make a big difference to "deep-rooted" relations between the two countries.
He told the state-run Anadolu Agency: "In essence our relations are relations between two states and we hope that under the new presidential term the Turkish-US relations will be much better. That is our expectation.
"I saw an intense campaign for Hillary Clinton's victory. Artists, sportsmen, all personalities worked for Clinton's victory. But in elections, it is important to embrace the people. No one has won elections through newspaper headlines, opinion polls or television (campaigns)."

NETHERLANDS
Populist Dutch anti-Islam legislator Geert Wilders tweeted his congratulations to Mr Trump.
Mr Wilders, whose Freedom Party is riding high in opinion polls ahead of Dutch elections in March, called Mr Trump's win: "A historic victory! A revolution."
Looking ahead to the Dutch vote, he finished his tweet: "We also will give our country back to the people of the Netherlands."

JAPAN
Chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga reaffirmed his government's commitment to the US security alliance. He said the alliance will remain the cornerstone of Japan-US diplomacy.

INDONESIA
Indonesians on social media questioned why Americans voted in big numbers for Mr Trump, who many in the world's most populous Muslim country perceive as intolerant and reactionary.
Twitter, Facebook and chatrooms buzzed with speculation about whether Mr Trump would follow through on campaign rhetoric that included a ban on Muslims entering the US.
Some people feared being prevented from visiting relatives and friends in America or travelling there as tourists. About 100,000 Indonesians live in the US.
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo said his government would work with whoever becomes president.

AUSTRALIA
Foreign minister Julie Bishop said the new administration will face a number of challenges, including in Asia-Pacific, and Australia wants to work constructively with the new government to ensure the continued presence and leadership of the US in the region.
She called the US "our major security ally" and the largest foreign direct investor and the second-largest trading partner.
She added: "The United States is also the guarantor and defender of the rules-based international order that has underpinned so much of our economic and security issues. And interests."

NEW ZEALAND
Student Sarah Pereira said she is looking forward to working as an intern in the US Congress, but dreads the prospect of Mr Trump as president.
Ms Pereira, a masters student in strategic studies, is leaving for Washington this weekend after winning a scholarship to work for Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks.
Speaking at an event hosted by the US Embassy in Wellington, she predicted the effects of Mr Trump's victory on international relationships would be "catastrophic".

EUROPEAN UNION
Foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said transatlantic ties go beyond the election of Mr Trump.
She said in a Twitter message that "EU-US ties are deeper than any change in politics. We'll continue to work together, rediscovering the strength of Europe."
EU Parliament president Martin Schulz said the result "must be respected" as Mr Trump "managed to become the standard-bearer of the angst and fears of millions of Americans".
