World leaders congratulate Donald Trump on his election as U.S. President
World leaders have congratulated Donald Trump on his election as the 47th President of the United States. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer were among the first to express their support.
Netanyahu called Trump's victory "history's greatest comeback," emphasizing a renewed alliance between Israel and the U.S. Starmer highlighted the importance of the UK-U.S. relationship, despite his party's closer ties to the Democrats.
Other leaders, including Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, also offered congratulations. In contrast, Russia's Kremlin spokesperson stated that President Vladimir Putin would not congratulate Trump, citing ongoing tensions.
