Newly-elected US president Donald Trump claimed that Bastian Schweinsteiger's wife Ana Ivanovic is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

Trump, 70, made the comment three years ago during a meeting with Ivica Dacic, who was the prime minister of Serbia at the time.

He said of Ivanovic: "She is the most beautiful woman I have seen in my life. Simply the most beautiful."
Trump was elected as the 45th president of the United States on Wednesday morning.

The Republican has never held a political post before and was in Serbia three years ago to discuss potential business investments in the country.
Dacic, who is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said: "For 15 minutes all he talked about was Ana Ivanovic and how she was the most beautiful tennis player and woman in the world."
