Madeleine Albright speaks in Prague about Trump triumph

Former Czech-born US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright spoke in Prague Friday on the impact of the election of Donald Trump as the next president of the US. Albright, who backed close friend Hillary Clinton, said the world had not ended but warned that things would evolve differently from what most people expected. In a conference at Charles University’s philosophical faculty, she added that many Americans feared that they were not as rich as before, and their jobs had moved to other countries. She said a gender factor was probably at play in the elections with many white males feeling that they had lost everything. She added that Europe should understand that the US was both an Atlantic and a Pacific power.
