"I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter," Trump said in a statement to the New York Post.

Trump held the call from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Thursday, just days after his stunning election victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris, the report said.

The joint exercise, which started last week, came as newly inaugurated President Prabowo Subianto pledged closer ties with Russia on defence, in a bid to forge links with any country as part of Jakarta's long-held non-aligned foreign policy.

On Saturday, Prabowo met Chinese President Xi Jinping, the state-run Xinhua news agency said.

President Prabowo Subianto ended his state visit to China on Sunday and left directly for the United States as his administration seeks to maintain balanced ties with the two rival powers.

The Gulf country has been working alongside the United States and Egypt for months on fruitless talks between the warring sides in Gaza and any disengagement from that process could further complicate efforts to reach a deal.

In the Jodenbuurt, Amsterdam's Jewish quarter, members of the community were keeping a low profile Saturday, but one T-shirt seller at a local market said he felt "terrible" about the violence in his home city.

Israel's national security ministry has also urged its citizens in the Dutch city to stay in their hotel rooms following the attacks, the prime minister's office said in a second statement.

The Qantas flight, QF520, was bound for Brisbane and was circling for a "short period of time" before landing safely at Sydney Airport, Qantas Chief Pilot Captain Richard Tobiano said in the statement.

Prabowo, a 73-year-old ex-general inaugurated last month, has pledged to position Jakarta more prominently on the world stage while sticking to its traditional non-aligned foreign policy.

All eyes will be on Prabowo when he visits the United States next week on the back of a state visit to China, amid concerns Trump could shake up bilateral relations once more.

It said the $5.2 billion agreement was part of a broader package of US aid approved by the US administration and Congress earlier this year and included an option for 25 additional aircraft.

Stable, sound and sustainable China-US relations serve the interests of both, Xi said on Thursday, adding that the international community would expect the two powers to "respect each other (and) co-exist peacefully".

The end of his fractious three-way coalition, which deprives him of a governing majority, could not have come at a worse time for Europe's biggest economy, which is set to shrink for a second year in a row.

President Prabowo Subianto congratulated Donald Trump for his sweeping victory in the United States presidential election on Wednesday, hoping for a closer partnership in the future especially in ensuring global peace and stability.

Trump's victory highlights voter discontent with economy and border security.

Wong sat down with senior journalists to outline a plan to build on the close ties his predecessor had forged with Indonesia’s previous president.

For Indonesian citizens living in the US, like other groups that have no say in the US election, one major hope was that the overall relationship between their country and the US could improve going forward.

The United States is Israel's top ally and military backer, and the election came at a critical time for the Middle East amid wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

As the results began to go Trump's way, China said it hoped for "peaceful coexistence" with the United States.

His exuberant speech came despite the fact that only Fox News had declared him the winner, with no other US networks having made the call so far.

"We will continue to approach and handle China-US relations based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular briefing.

US media have thus far projected that Trump has won in more than half of the 50 US states, including three key battlegrounds Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, two of which voted Democratic in the last election.

Republicans also won several races that could allow them to expand their 220-212 majority in the House of Representatives, though the final outcome may not be known for days.

Trump's early wins included the predictably Republican Florida and Texas while Harris won California, giving Trump 227 electoral votes and Harris 172. The magic number to win the presidency is 270.

Wong sat down with a few senior journalists to share how robust Indonesia-Singapore cooperation could impact the wider Southeast Asian region.

The early results were as anticipated, with the contest expected to come down to seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Opinion polls showed the rivals neck and neck in all seven going into Election Day.
