Donald Trump’s recent victory in the US presidential election has sparked a wide range of reactions globally. Political leaders and institutions from different countries have expressed congratulations and outlined their expectations for future cooperation with the new president. While some celebrate the event as an opportunity to strengthen alliances, others remain cautious, highlighting the challenges that may arise.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed the importance of the transatlantic partnership between Europe and the United States, saying they should work together on a strong agenda for the benefit of citizens. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also welcomed Trump’s victory, describing it as a significant recovery in relations between Israel and the United States. From Kiev, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope that the new administration would help Ukraine achieve a just peace. In contrast, the Iranian government spokeswoman said that it does not matter who the US president will be, as the plans are already set. The NATO secretary general anticipated fruitful cooperation with Trump to keep the alliance strong.
The reactions were not all positive. Dmitry Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian Security Council, expressed concern about Trump’s willingness to finance conflicts like the one in Ukraine. On the other hand, Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented that “the winner is the one who lives for love of his country,” suggesting a more patriotic approach than the international one. China has taken a neutral stance on the US election, reiterating that US internal issues must be respected and handled consistently. Spokeswoman Mao Ning emphasized Beijing and Washington’s desire for peaceful coexistence.
With Trump’s election as the 47th president of the United States, a new chapter in international relations opens. World leaders are preparing to recalibrate their diplomatic strategies based on the performance of the new administration. While some countries are optimistic about the possibility of strengthening strategic alliances, others remain vigilant about geopolitical dynamics that could affect global stability. The international community now waits to see how Trump will address global challenges and what policies he will adopt during his next four years in the White House.
