World leaders congratulate Trump on election win
Congratulations are flowing in from world leaders for President-elect Trump following his win in the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Harris.
The well wishes came from key allies that Trump will work with to address issues on the global stage, including United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Starmer said in a statement that he looks forward to working with Trump in the years ahead and that the U.K. and U.S. "stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise." Macron called back to their time working together during Trump's first term, saying he is ready to collaborate as they did for four years previously.
"With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity," Macron said.
Zelensky, who has worked to maintain a close relationship with the U.S., especially since Russia's 2022 invasion of his country, called Trump's win "impressive" and said he looked forward to continuing the countries' partnership. His statement comes as the issue of continued U.S. aid for Ukraine has become polarized, with greater numbers of Republicans declaring their opposition to it.
“We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership. We rely on continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States,” Zelensky said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump and the incoming first lady, Melania, on "history's greatest comeback."
"Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America," he said.
Trump also received congratulations from Jens Stoltenberg, who served as secretary-general of NATO until his term ended in October. Trump has frequently criticized NATO throughout his political career, arguing that other members do not commit enough of their budgets to defense spending as recommended.
"In a world of growing instability, strong U.S. leadership remains essential," Stoltenberg said.
