PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — From New York to Chicago to California and many place in between, hundreds of demonstrators have marched through streets, many for the third straight night following Donald Trump's election. But in Portland, Oregon, police declared a riot as some of the 4,000 marchers smashed store windows and set a dumpster on fire. After calling the protests "unfair" last night, Trump today tweeted: "Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!"
BRUSSELS (AP) — Plans for a Trans-Atlantic trade deal appear to be a casualty of the change of administration in the U.S. The European Union's top trade official says talks are set to be put on hold following the election of Donald Trump. The Europeans had wanted to seal a deal before President Barack Obama leaves office in January. Looming elections in France and Germany have also hampered progress.
BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) — A police official says Nigerian soldiers opened fire on three women spotted with explosives strapped to their bodies, setting off two of the devices and killing the would-be bombers.

CAIRO (AP) — There's a heavy troop deployment today across Egypt amid new economic austerity measures. The government has floated the local currency and raised fuel prices in order to qualify for a $12 billion bailout loan from the International Monetary Fund. These reforms have spawned rising prices and costs of living for an already frustrated Egyptian population, and protests are anticipated.
CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. (AP) — A Hillary Clinton supporter who was "heartbroken" over Tuesday's election says she decided to go on a hike in the woods — and ran into the former presidential candidate herself. Margot Gerster said in a Facebook post that she was heading home following her hike yesterday in Clintons' hometown of Chappaqua, New York, when she saw Clinton and former President Bill Clinton walking their dogs. Gerster said she hugged the former Democratic nominee and told her that one of her "proudest moments as a mother" was taking her daughter with her to vote for Clinton. She posted a picture with Clinton that she says was snapped by the former president.
