Czech president Miloš Zeman openly supported Trump during his election campaign and also backed his fight against the evil Islamic State.

After the vote he said: "I agree with his views on migration and the fight against Islamic terrorism".

Zeman added that he hoped Ivana Trump - the President-elect's first wife - would become the US ambassador to the Czech Republic after she expressed an interest in the post earlier this month.
