Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential race is leading to reaction from world leaders. That reaction began trickling in during the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 6.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a huge victory and congratulated Trump on his “historic return to the White House. “He called it a new beginning for the great alliance between Israel and America.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom Trump previously termed as weak, posted on X, saying the friendship between Canada and U.S. is the envy of the world and they will work together to create prosperity.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also posted his congratulations, saying the two countries will continue to work together to promote prosperity and freedom.
Also posting on X, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy wrote, “Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory! I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine.”
By contrast, the Kremlin’s press secretary told reporters on Wednesday, Nov. 6, he is not aware of any plans for Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate Trump. He also called the United States an unfriendly country, that is directly or indirectly involved in a war against Russia.
Donald Trump had stated in his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris during the campaign that he will end the war between Ukraine and Russia before he takes office.
