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 could give you what I want, equal rights and fair treatment, but that’d be a bit white colonialist.

    What’s wrong with you? Touting your virtuous heart at the same time as just being openly racist

      Racism is also no longer real now that we’ve got an explicitly white nationalist president, this solves the contradiction.

      If you’re serious, cause I see you’re a different account and tbh I have no idea where the context is right now: From a postcolonial perspective the concept of moral naturalism, or “objective good,” looks damn close to the cultural superiority that was often used to excuse colonial behavior. The way it managed to contradict so many things at once in the conversation was darkly amusing, and I thought it might bait a response that would show inconsistencies in the views being expressed while also being rude enough to let out some of my current frustration at the proudly self-destructive behavior that’s popped up like mushrooms with Trump’s win. Happened last time that old white man won, too, and soon everyone was whining. How tf did it get worse. Either goldfish memory or a bunch of tadpoles.

        White colonial ideology has historically been violently opposed to “equal rights and fair treatment,” merely proclaiming such things while devising excuses to exclude people from it. You are speaking as though the non-white savages would need to have “equal rights and fair treatment” imposed upon them by whites, which is just being a classic racist piece of shit.

        “When I’m mad about orang man, I do a racism” is not a compelling excuse.

          Congrats, you’ve figured out about half the inherent contradiction. That’s barely a passing score.
