United States President-elect Donald Trump acknowledged President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s congratulatory message on his return to the White House.
US Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez told this to GMA News Online on Thursday. He said Marcos congratulated Trump via SMS.
“PBBM congratulated Pres Trump via SMS and was acknowledged with thanks,” Romualdez said.
Asked if Marcos will attend the inauguration, Romualdez said he is yet uncertain if Trump’s team will invite other world leaders.
“We don’t know if Trump’s transition team will be inviting foreign leaders to the inauguration,” Romualdez said.
Trump, 78, recaptured the White House on Wednesday by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.
Trump had won 279 electoral votes to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 223 with several states yet to be counted. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
