Prime Minister Keir Starmer has wished Donald Trump congratulations on a 'historic election victory'. As things stand, Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. He will be only the second man in history to serve two non-consecutive terms as president.
As things stand, Donald Trump looks set to win the popular vote - i.e., win the most votes in total - something he didn't even do in 2016.
The Prime Minister posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Congratulations President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead." Congratulations President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory.
