Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin and other Holy See leaders have shared their well wishes for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump following his resounding election victory this week, conveying their hopes for wise leadership on both domestic and international affairs.
“We wish him great wisdom, because this is the main virtue of rulers according to the Bible,” Parolin said at an event in Rome.
“I believe that, above all, he has to work to be the president of the whole country and so overcome the polarization that has occurred, which can be very, very clearly felt at the moment,” he indicated.
Trump obtained a decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 presidential vote, surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to return for a second term to the White House.
