As former President Trump declared victory in front of his supporters after winning the contest, leaders from around the world also congratulated him on social media.
French President Emmanuel Macron quickly sent a congratulatory message, saying, "We are ready to work together as we have for the past four years."
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was "looking forward to working with former President Trump" and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also said the two countries have been "trying to promote prosperity and freedom."
Italian Prime Minister Jorja Meloni also congratulated the EU and other European countries, saying, "The most sincere congratulations to President-elect Trump."
Hungarian Prime Minister Orban Viktor, who has publicly supported Trump, was the first EU chief to launch a video celebration, calling it a "shining victory."

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutter also praised Trump for showing strong leadership during his past tenure, saying, "He changed the flow of defense spending in Europe during his term and improved cost sharing."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has waged a war of nerves with the Biden administration for more than a year, called Trump's recapture of the White House "the greatest comeback in history."
President Zelensky, who is at war with Russia, also congratulated him on his election and called for "bipartisan support for Ukraine."
Russia has been cautious for now, saying it will not jump to the direction of Trump's second-term policy, which it had guaranteed could end the conflict in Ukraine in one day.
