Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory.
He writes on X: “The friendship between Canada and the US is the envy of the world. I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations.”
Canada is America’s northern neighbor and a close Nato ally. The US is also by far Ottawa’s biggest trade partner.
Donald Trump has won the US election and will make a historic return to the White House.
The Republican told jubilant crowds in Florida: “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
Of the seven crucial swing states, Trump won North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and is ahead in Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona.
Kamala Harris is yet to concede or address supporters – dejected crowds left her watch party well before the final result came in.
