Wilders: Americans are taking their country back



The PVV leader also said he sees an ally in Trump as U.S. president. "He is someone who lets himself be heard, primarily choosing for the interest of his own people. For both domestic and foreign politics, he would be a nice American leader, who may not always be good for Europe, but defends the interests of his own people. I wish we had political leaders in the Netherlands who fight for their own country and forget the rest a bit."

Wilders also attended the Republican Convention

At this stage (7:27 a.m. Dutch time) Republican candidate Trump has 244 electoral votes, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has 215. There are 538 electors distributed across the United States. The candidate to reach 270 electoral votes will become president.
