'Nam-US relations will remain solid'

Minister of international relations Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah yesterday said Namibia's leadership is not corrupt, and that United States president-elect Donald Trump's statement that he will not work with corrupt African leaders does not apply to Namibia.

During his election campaign, Trump said he will not work with African leaders whom he called corrupt. He also threatened to cut off US aid to Africa if he was elected.

Trump won by an overwhelming majority yesterday against Hilary Clinton after millions of voters went to the polls and voted for him as the new head of state. He will be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States of America on 20 January 2017. State House press secretary Albertus Aochamub yesterday said President Hage Geingob will release a statement regarding Trump's victory soon, although he did not indicate by when.
