Mr. Trump wishes his 'enemies' a 'peaceful and happy' New Year.

While world leaders sent lengthy New Year's greetings and pledges for 2018, US President Donald Trump made an impression with his quick, concise message on Twitter.

"I wish all my friends, supporters, enemies, detractors, and even the dishonest fake news media, a Happy and Peaceful New Year. 2018 will be a great year for America," Trump wrote once again in his very... Trump style.

Earlier, the American leader also reviewed his accomplishments over the past year with a short video summarizing his international trips.

Wishing his rivals the best for the New Year seems to have become a habit for Mr. Trump since his days as a businessman.

In late December 2016, more than a month after his election, Trump also sent New Year's greetings to "everyone, including my opponents and those who fought against me but lost miserably because they didn't know what to do."

The US president celebrated the new year with family and supporters at the luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, according to Fox News.

In his New Year's message on December 31, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his hope that the New Year would bring better things to the lives of every Russian citizen and family.

In his televised address, President Putin also extended special wishes to those working, serving in the military, and performing professional duties. He wished Russia peace and prosperity.

In Germany, the difficulties of the past year continue to plague Chancellor Angela Merkel, as reflected in her commitments. The German leader promised to form a stable government and cooperate with France to strengthen the European integration process in 2018.

Amidst the extremely difficult political negotiations to form a coalition government in Germany, Chancellor Merkel spoke about Berlin's commitment to European integration, stating that Germany's future is closely linked to the future of Europe.

She called on EU member states to become an even more cohesive community, explaining that this would be crucial in the coming years. Referring to France's role, the German Chancellor emphasized: "Germany and France want to work together to achieve this and help Europe prepare for the future."

Quoting the saying "where there are mountains, build roads; where there are rivers, build bridges" in his New Year's address, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged that the country would carry out thorough reforms in 2018.

The Chinese leader emphasized that 2018 would be the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a pivotal year for the country's ambitious development plans for the next 30 years.

The Chinese leader affirmed that by 2020, extreme poverty among rural people would be eradicated.

Regarding international issues, President Xi Jinping affirmed that China will uphold the authority and status of the United Nations, actively abide by its international obligations, fulfill its commitments to address climate change, and contribute to global peace, development, and the international order.
