UK Prime Minister Says He 'Looks Forward to Working with' Trump

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK) Keir Starmer has congratulated Donald Trump on what he calls a “historic election victory” in the United States.

“I look forward to working with you in the years ahead,” the UK’s prime minister said in a statement.

“As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.

Elsewhere, Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelenskyy said he looked forward to "an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump's decisive leadership."

There had been questions about whether the US would continue supporting Ukraine, after former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said a Trump win would probably be bad news for the country, which was invaded by Russia in 2022.

But Mr Zelenskyy said in a meeting with Mr Trump in September that the pair "discussed in detail the Ukraine-US strategic partnership, the victory plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine".
