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.

        Bro we’re gunna elect the nastiest little sycophant dweeb if people don’t get out and stop it. The neevousness you feel is anyone here left with two braincells to knock together wondering just how bad it’s gunna be now that the bar is in Hell’s basement.

        (Also if Canadians don’t vote in our election I hope they fucking die and I’m done acting like I’m joking. I won’t do it, but I still have hope)

          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.

        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

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

    At least the war in Ukraine might come to an end. As for Arabs and Muslims we already got a genocide with Biden, Trump can only increase the intensity of it but who knows what the crazy maniac will do.

      IF the elections are rigged by the MIC to wrap fait accompli into a cohesive and digestable narrative, the surrender of Ukraine is one of those things that might have required Trump at the helm for it to be believable. He’s anti-China and anti-Arab so he can just as easily maintain the existing war drives, but he’s also the cover necessary to let Ukraine fall and continue the hollowing out of Europe.

      I don’t think they’re rigged. But if they were…

    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.
