The Straits Times
|November 07, 2024
Singapore looks forward to working with US President-elect Donald Trump and hopes for increased bilateral and regional cooperation with Washington, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
Speaking to Singapore media just minutes after media reports announced that Trump had secured the 270 electoral votes needed to win the US presidency, PM Wong said Singapore is keen on furthering areas of cooperation with Trump and his team.
"We will look forward to working with them, and the new administration, to strengthen our bilateral ties, and also to strengthen America's partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region," he said on Nov 6.
PM Wong said Singapore is familiar with Trump, noting how he had visited the Republic during the Trump-Kim Summit in 2018 during his first presidential term from 2017 to 2021.
"We had also, under his (Trump's) watch, extended our 1990 Memorandum Of Understanding Regarding United States Use of Facilities in Singapore, and we had continued to advance our trade and investment flows between both America and Singapore in a very productive manner," he said.
PM Wong also wrote congratulatory letters to Trump and his vice-presidential running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, on Nov 6.
