In Latin America, those who managed to have some sleep are waking up to Trump's victory.

South of the border, in Mexico, newspapers are highlighting how the local currency is performing against the dollar. El Universal, external says the peso is on a "free fall". It adds the country “faces now one of the worst possible scenarios”, as Trump promised to build a wall with Mexico, review the North American Free Trade Agreement and deport millions of undocumented migrants from the US.  

Excelsior, external says Trump had built his rhetoric based on "xenophobia, prejudice and racial divide... strongly criticized around the world".

Steve Hilton, David Cameron's former adviser in Downing Street for several years, says he believes Donald Trump won the US election because Americans could see in him "someone who might make a difference to their lives".

Mr Hilton, who is now based in California, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that while incomes have risen for the first time this year since the recession "50% of Americans are earning less today than 17 years ago - that's what really explains what's going on".

"I understand very well the reaction in the UK and around the world of real shock to what's happened and of great anxiety and concern, but I feel it's misplaced."

Experts have been predicting what Trump's victory will mean for the UK. Will the two countries do a swift trade deal after Brexit? "I could see that happening," says Kori Schake, who was senior policy adviser to Republican presidential candidate John McCain in 2008, "especially since the EU seems unwilling to move forward with the US-EU deal. 

"A bilateral agreement with Britain could be a huge opportunity for Trump to prove he's in favour of 'the right kind of deals'. But whether that would constitute a good deal for Britain is more difficult to say."

During that January 2016 debate about a petition calling for US President Elect Donald Trump to be banned from entering the UK, Labour MPs in favour of a ban included Labour's Tulip Saddiq and Jack Dromey, 

Conservative Sarah Wollaston didn't openly call for a ban, but said: "I would argue that, should Donald Trump be excluded from one of the US’s oldest allies, that would send a very clear message to the people of the United States about what we feel about those who demonise an entire people for no reason other than their religion."

SNP MP Anne McLaughlin said: "Donald Trump’s statements make him unfit to be President."

Looking back to earlier this year, the BBC reported that stopping Donald Trump from coming to the UK risked turning him into a martyr.

During a three-hour House of Commons debate, Paul Flynn said Mr Trump's call to ban Muslims from the US was "extremely dangerous" but barring him from the UK risked being seen as anti-American.

However, SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh said a ban would be justified on the grounds of "religious harmony".

A petition advocating a ban at the time attracted 574,000 signatures.

The debate, which took place in a packed Westminster Hall committee room, ended without a vote.
