World leaders have extended their support and congratulations to Donald Trump following projections of his return to the White House.

This historic political comeback, with far-reaching implications, has stirred enthusiastic responses from allies across the globe.

A wave of excitement built overnight among the former president’s camp, with close supporters gathering in Florida as key swing states Georgia and North Carolina were called in Trump’s favour. But the decisive win came with the projection in Pennsylvania, a swing state worth a significant 19 electoral votes, which all but eliminated any chance of a Democrat victory, as Trump edged closer to the necessary 270 electoral votes.
