Israel

“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. This is a huge victory! In true friendship,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on social media platform X.

Iran

The livelihoods of Iranians will not be affected by the US election, government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Tehran.

“The US elections are not really our business. Our policies are steady and don’t change based on individuals. We made the necessary predictions before and there will not be change in people’s livelihoods,” she said.

Hamas

Trump’s victory puts to test his earlier statements that he can stop the war in Gaza within hours, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told the Reuters news agency. The Democratic party’s loss is the natural price for its leadership’s “criminal stance” towards Gaza, Abu Zuhri said, adding that “we urge Trump to learn from [US President Joe] Biden’s mistakes.”

China

“Our policy towards the US is consistent,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a news briefing.
“We will continue to view and handle China-US relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation,” she added.

Ukraine

“I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.

United Kingdom

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “Congratulations President-elect Trump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead. As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.”

NATO

Secretary-General Mark Rutte: “I just congratulated Donald Trump on his election as President of the United States. His leadership will again be key to keeping our Alliance strong. I look forward to working with him again to advance peace through strength through NATO.”

European Union

“The EU and the US are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. “So let’s work together on a strong transatlantic agenda that keeps delivering for them.”

India

Congratulating Trump on a “historic election victory”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X that “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.”

Russia

“Trump has one useful quality for us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers-on and stupid hanger-on allies, on bad charity projects and on voracious international organisations,” former President Dmitry Medvedev posted on the Telegram messaging app.

          I mean there’s a 99% chance Pierre wins.

          I’m already stockpiling my porn so he can’t take it away from me. Will be horrifying to see whatever digital ID spying system he comes up with. So much for being anti-overreach and pro-freedom.

            Sadly true.

            Hopefully we can at least hold him to a minority.

            Given how allergic the conservatives seem to be (since at least Harper’s days) about working cooperatively with any other party, a minority parliament ought to be able to minimize the damage. I hope.

              Yea I love that. They genuinely thought it was cheating that the government was working together to get equal representation. They would rather get a 51% majority and ignore 49% of the country and if that doesn’t show how absolutely worthless they are as people I don’t know what would.

        The crazy neighbor, with a collection of 700 guns who likes to talk about how they’re better than everyone else and nobody understands them.

        It’s not true or is meant as a joke. Our slimeball prime minister greased on right up to Trump. Unless poster is referring to another politician which doesn’t represent NZ as a whole.

      Zelenskyy will say whatever he needs to in order to try to retain as much US support as possible.

      Not likely to work, but it’s a pragmatic take. If someone is threatening to cut off your support, don’t threaten them back, otherwise it’s a done deal.

        I think they will cut some support, but not all of it. The results is that Europe has to step it up, meaning European military industrial complex needs to step up, meaning US companies will lose money… and Donnie boy is all about that scrilla.

          They’re trading rice for NK troops, this shitbag is going to offer them Javelins and Abrams at half price if they have gold paint. I legitimately believe this election will cost many Ukrainian lives

        Only millions of people that were simply born in the wrong place. Only a world superpower potentially turning into an autocratic regime in support of other tyrants.

        But sure, other than the existential threat of the largest exporter of culture and most powerful military on earth in a country that has a history of imperialism and warmongering falling under the control of an autocratic regime of fascists, sure. Nothing of value.

    So in other words, a Trump win makes things even worse for Gaza. Where have I heard that before?? 🤔

    Yeah, that’s not gonna go the way you think it is…
    If they thought the arms shipments coming in before were fucking their day up…

    The only reason Israel might not glass Gaza when Trump takes power is that they want to move people in after the “unclean” have been erased.

      They know this, but all his failures will need huge spotlights on them. He wasn’t vague about it and now it’s time to do this magic he claimed he could do.

          What? He did get re-elected, that’s the point of the post, and the comment was because he made an incredibly bold and easily falsifiable claim so we’re saying “go on then, make the peace deal you promises already”.

            And I’m responding to that claim asking, based on his first term, do we really think holding his feet to the fire on this is going to work?
