The German Foreign Ministry awaits more trusting Russia-US relations, including with the new administration in Washington which will be headed by President-elect Donald Trump, the ministry’s spokesman Martin Schaefer said Wednesday.

BERLIN (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, Trump won the US presidential elections despite most of the analysts and opinion polls predicting his defeat to Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump got 276 electoral votes against Hillary Clinton's 218 votes out of 270 needed to win.

"Nobody in the federal government is against closer, more trusting relations between the United States and Russia. In fact, it is desirable," Schaefer said.
