Republican candidate Donald Trump declared himself the winner of the U.S. election on Wednesday and will return to the White House after a hard-fought election campaign to become the North American country's 47th president.
Trump has surpassed the 270 electoral votes required to claim victory over his rival, Democratic candidate and current

The winning candidate in each State, even if it is by just one vote, takes all of its electoral votes, with the exception of Nebraska and Maine, and the candidate who reaches 270 wins the election, Efe agency reported.
