Trump and Melania arrived at his New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, which included family, pals, and members of the new administration.

During his conversation with the reporters, Trump was asked what he was looking forward to in the upcoming year. He declared that there has been “a light over the whole world” since he won the presidential race.

Calling 2025 a “great year”, Trump predicted that the US is going to “do fantastically well as a country”, Daily Mail reported.

He further claimed that people are “not respecting” the US very much, but added, “they're gonna respect us a lot.”
