Donald Trump’s election victory will be “really influential” in London, an academic has said.
Dr Noga Glucksam, of Richmond American University London, said: “Whatever is the culture in the United States tends to ripple into political culture in other places.”
The associate professor’s comments followed the re-election of Trump, who will become the 47th president of the US.
Most British people were unhappy that Trump has been elected, according to a snap YouGov poll on Wednesday.
“London is such a cosmopolitan city and Londoners are such a cosmopolitan community.
“A lot of the things that are going to likely come out of the next Trump administration are going to effect Londoners in a variety of ways – in terms of economic situations in the world… the security situation in the world… the culture of politics.”
‘Decent president’
A poll of 4,807 British adults on Wednesday showed that reaction in Britain has been largely negative, YouGov said.
Of those surveyed, 57% say they were unhappy, compared with 20% who were happy.
More than half – 55% – said they believed Mr Trump’s second presidency would be bad for the UK.
More British women were unhappy with the result than men – at 65% compared with 49% respectively
