World leaders congratulate Trump on election victory while Russia remains silent
World leaders congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory over Kamala Harris, with European leaders expressing warm support, unlike their cooler response in 2016. Notably, Russia's foreign ministry did not extend congratulations from President Vladimir Putin.
China emphasized a desire for "peaceful coexistence" with the U.S., while Ukraine's President Zelensky expressed hope for a "just peace" in his country. Other leaders, including those from Israel, NATO, and the EU, highlighted the importance of cooperation with the new administration.
Responses varied globally, with leaders from Mexico, Brazil, and India offering positive remarks. In contrast, Russia maintained a cautious stance, stating it had "no illusions" about the new president.
