World leaders congratulate Donald Trump amid global crises

I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-US strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine,

Zelenskyy said on social media

Germany and the US have for a long time successfully worked together to promote prosperity and freedom on both sides of the Atlantic. We will continue to do so for the benefit of our citizens,

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on social media

The EU and the US are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens,

von der Leyen said

Together, we can foster economic cooperation, promote peace and address global challenges that affect our citizens,

Tinubu said

We will draw conclusions based on concrete steps and concrete words,

Peskov said

A much needed victory for the world!"

Orban said on social media

I wish him all the success... and I look forward to reaching peace together, upholding regional stability and strengthening the strategic partnership between Egypt and the United States and their friendly peoples,

he said on social media

I look forward to working together to further strengthen the relationship between our two countries during your term,

he said

I'm not aware of any plans by the president to congratulate Trump,

spokesman Dmitry Peskov said

[Zelensky] should never have let that war start,

he said on a podcast

We have a very good relationship, and I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin,

Trump said ahead of the meeting

From growth and security to innovation and tech, I know that the U.K.-U.S. special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come,

Starmer said

Kamala is finished ... let her keep cackling infectiously."

But on X, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev relished the apparent defeat of Harris, saying

As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let's work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity,

Modi said

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,

Netanyahu said

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,

he added

Trump has one quality that is useful to us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers-on and freeloaders – on idiotic allies, on stupid charity projects and on gluttonous international organizations,

Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president, said via Telegram, ... according to an NBC translation

In this new period that will begin with the elections of the American people, I hope that Turkey-US relations will strengthen, that regional and global crises and wars, especially the Palestinian issue and the Russia-Ukraine war, will come to an end; I believe that more efforts will be made for a more just world,

Erdoğan said

Australians and Americans are great friends and true allies. Working together, we can ensure the partnership between our nations and peoples remains strong into the future,

Albanese said

It makes little difference who becomes president, as there will be no impact on people's livelihoods,
