2016-11-09 While speaking to Vatican Radio, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the
Vatican Secretary of State, congratulated the new president and hoped that his
government "can truly be fruitful."

FULL STATEMENT:

"I think, first of all, we respectly note the will expressed by the American
people, in this exercise of democracy that, as I've heard, was also
characterized by a large turnout.

As such, we send best wishes to the new president, so his time in office and
government can truly be fruitful.

Be assured of our prayers, so the Lord enlightens and sustains him in the
service of his country, of course, but also for well-being and peace in the
world.

I believe that today there is indeed a need for everyone to work to change the
situation in the world, which is a serious laceration, a severe conflict."
