Global reactions began pouring in on Wednesday after Donald Trump was projected the winner of Pennsylvania, effectively ending Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris’ path to the U.S. presidency.
Trump is on 267, three shy of the magic 270 electoral college votes.
The former president had earlier claimed victory in the election.
Addressing supporters at an election watch party at his campaign headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said “we made history” as election victory nears.
He said, “This was a movement like nobody’s ever seen before, and frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond.”
He added, “And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance, because we’re going to help our country.
“We’ll help our country … We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders.
Netanyahu shared his congratulations on X/Twitter, saying: “Dear Donald and Melania Trump, Congratulations 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.”
French President Emmanuel Macron also extended his congratulations, stating, “Congratulations President Donald Trump. Ready to work together as we have done for four years.
“With your convictions and with mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev commented that Trump’s victory could spell trouble for Ukraine, though he expressed uncertainty over how much Trump could reduce US financial support for the war.
Also, UK Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer has congratulated Trump.
“Congratulations president-elect Trump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead,” Starmer said.
Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy equally congratulated Trump, saying,“Congratulations to Donald Trump on his impressive election victory!
“I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to a “peace through strength” approach to global affairs. It is this principle that can really bring a just peace in Ukraine closer. ”
