Trump victory to reverberate through global economy

Donald Trump's victory in the race to become the next U.S. president will have economic consequences for the rest of the world that are likely to be deep and quite immediate.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will make some of their final election pitches to voters on Wednesday in North Carolina, a swing state with a Democratic governor that has backed Republican presidential hopefuls for over a decade.

Defence Minister Yasar Guler said in a written interview...

Behind the scenes, officials have since been poring over the minimum defence requireme...
