Trump's Election Victory: Who Congratulated and Who Held Back?

On Wednesday, King Abdullah II of Jordan extended his congratulations to the Republican candidate, noting his hopes for continued cooperation. Through a message posted on X, the Jordanian monarch expressed optimism about future collaboration with Trump, emphasizing the importance of strengthening Jordan's longstanding relationship with the United States. 

“Looking forward to working with you again to bolster Jordan's longstanding partnership with the United States, in service of regional and global peace and stability for all,” King Abdullah wrote.

Similarly, leaders from India, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and Ukraine have also congratulated Trump. These nations have been key allies of the United States, with their heads of state reaffirming their commitment to furthering international cooperation with Trump in the coming years. 

The diverse list of leaders is reflective of the international support Trump continues to garner following his victory claim.
However, the response from Russia took a more cautious tone.

 The Kremlin stated that it would judge Trump’s actions moving forward, rather than offering outright congratulations. President Vladimir Putin, known for his strategic dealings with the former U.S. president, has expressed interest in evaluating the potential for future engagement based on Trump’s policies. 

The Russian government reiterated its stance that the relationship between Russia and the United States must be evaluated based on actions rather than words.

While some nations are eager to congratulate Trump and continue their diplomatic relations, others remain more reserved, indicating that the global response to the election results may continue to evolve as more details emerge.
