Republican Donald Trump won the US presidential election with at least 277 votes in the Electoral College, AP reported, quoted by BTA.
Trump's victory was confirmed by all three leading news channels in the country — NBC, CBS and ABC.
Television "Fox News" announced the Republican Party candidate and former president as the winner just a few hours ago.
Trump also announced his victory in a speech to supporters and received congratulations from a number of world leaders on his success.
The outcome of the election was determined by the results in seven swing states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
One of the most wavering states - Pennsylvania, became an occasion for Trump to declare himself the winner.
