"I wish all of my friends, supporters, enemies, haters, and even the dishonest Fake News Media a very Happy and Safe New Year. 2018 will be a great year for America," Trump wrote once again in a very... Trump style.

Before that, the US leader also did not forget to review what he had done in the past year with a short video summarizing his international trips.

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

In late December 2016, more than a month after being elected, Mr. Trump also sent New Year wishes 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 luxury resort Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to Fox News.

In his televised speech, President Putin also sent special wishes to those who are working, serving in the military and performing professional duties. He wished Russia to live in peace and prosperity.

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

In the context of the difficult political negotiations on forming a coalition government in Germany, Chancellor Merkel spoke out about Berlin's commitment to European integration, saying that Germany's future is closely linked to the future of Europe.

She called on EU member states to become a more cohesive community, explaining that this would be crucial in the coming years. Referring to the role of France, the German Chancellor stressed: "Germany and France want to work together to achieve this result and help Europe be ready for the future."

Citing the saying "open a path when you meet a mountain, build a bridge when you meet a river" in his New Year's speech, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged that the country would carry out radical reforms in 2018.

The Chinese leader stressed that 2018 will be the first year to fully implement 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.

China's leader has vowed to eradicate extreme poverty among rural people by 2020.

On international issues, President Xi Jinping affirmed that China will maintain the authority and status of the United Nations, actively comply with international obligations, fulfill commitments to address climate change, and contribute to global peace, development, and international order.
