  "account": "German right-wing populist AfD party co-leader Alice Weidel commented on the US midterm elections, attributing the Republican defeat to the consequences of the Iran war. She noted that Trump's broken promise of not conducting interventionist foreign policy has now come back to haunt the Republicans. Weidel urged Europe and Germany to bring the Iran and Ukraine wars to an end as quickly as possible.\n\nIran's parliament speaker Mohammad Qalibaf celebrated the results, crediting American voters for speaking out against the Middle East war. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning stated that the midterm elections were an internal matter for the US, and Beijing remained willing to work with the US to strengthen communication and manage differences appropriately.\n\nChinese President Xi Jinping met with Donald Trump during the UN General Assembly, but no significant outcomes emerged from the visit. Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia would wait for the final results of the US midterm elections, emphasizing that Russia's stance on Ukraine remains unchanged.",
