Donald Trump said he will recognize the results of the midterm elections after projections showed the Republican Party lost its majority in both the House and the Senate. The loss of control over the U.S. Congress marks a shift in legislative power to the Democrats, who now hold the majority in both chambers.
The Democratic victory may force Trump to adjust his current trade policies, as the election results are viewed as a defeat for the president’s legislative agenda. The updated congressional makeup will impact the administration’s ability to pass new laws and manage trade relations.
