Keir Starmer has become the next world leader to congratulate Donald Trump on what he calls a “historic election victory”.
“I look forward to working with you in the years ahead,” the UK’s prime minister says, adding:
“As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.
“From growth and security to innovation and tech, I know that the UK-US special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come.”
