Prime Minister Keir Starmer added: “I look forward to working with you over the coming years.” “As our closest allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder to defend our shared values of freedom, democracy, and enterprise.”
Starmer’s Labor government team has been critical of Trump in the past, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy calling him a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath”. Starmer has been trying to build bridges with Trump over the past few weeks, meeting him during a trip to New York in September.
Lammy’s tone was markedly different in his tweet Wednesday morning. “Britain has no greater friend than America. We have cherished our special relationship for more than 80 years on both sides of the Atlantic. We are looking forward to working with you.” he said
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it “the greatest comeback in history.” “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful rededication to Israel and America’s great alliance,” he added.
To Donald Trump and Melania Trump,
Congratulations on the best comeback in history!
Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a strong commitment to the great alliance between Israel and the United States.
This is a huge win!
