However, British MP Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, took to X to share a very different sentiment.
“This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe,” he wrote.
“The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.
“The next President of the United States is a man who actively undermines the rule of law, human rights, international trade, climate action and global security.
“Millions of Americans – especially women and minorities – will be incredibly fearful about what comes next. We stand with them.
“Families across the UK will also be worrying about the damage Trump will do to our economy and our national security, given his record of starting trade wars, undermining NATO and emboldening tyrants like Putin.”
He said it was crucial for the UK to strengthen trade and defence with Europe “to help protect ourselves from the damage Trump will do”.
“Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also shared a positive congratulation message.
“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!” he wrote on X.
“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.”
French President Emmanuel Macron posted on X: “Ready to work together as we were able to do during four years. With your convictions and mine. In respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele was among the first world leaders to congratulate Trump on X.
“Congratulations to the President-Elect of the United States of America, @realDonaldTrump. May God bless and guide you,” he wrote.
