@Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory!
I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against 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. I am hopeful that we will put it into action together.
We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership. We rely on continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States.
We are interested in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that will benefit both of our nations. Ukraine, as one of Europe’s strongest military powers, is committed to ensuring long-term peace and security in Europe and the Transatlantic community with the support of our allies.
I am looking forward to personally congratulating President Trump and discussing ways to strengthen Ukraine’s strategic partnership with the United States.
@ViktorOrban:The biggest comeback in US political history! Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his enormous win. A much-needed victory for the world!
@Mark Rutte: I look forward to working with him again to advance peace through strength through NATO.
Through NATO, the US has 31 friends and allies who help to advance US interests, multiply American power, and keep Americans safe.
Together, NATO Allies represent half of the world’s economic might and half of the world’s military might.
We face a growing number of challenges globally, from a more aggressive Russia to terrorism to strategic competition with China, as well as the increasing
alignment of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
Working together through NATO helps to deter aggression, protect our collective security, and support our economies.
President-elect Trump demonstrated strong U.S. leadership throughout his first term in office—a term that turned the tide on European defence spending, improved transatlantic burden sharing, and strengthened Alliance capabilities.
When President-elect Trump takes office again on January 20, he will be welcomed by a stronger, larger, and more united Alliance.
Two-thirds of Allies now spend at least 2% of their GDP on defence, and defence spending and production are on an onward trajectory across the Alliance.
We must continue these efforts in order to preserve peace and prosperity across North America and Europe.
