Maldives president congratulates Trump on election victory
Trump has declared victory in a speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, saying “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
President Mohamed Muizzu on Wednesday extended congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 United States presidential election.
In a post on X, President Muizzu stated: “Warm congratulations to President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your electoral victory. The Maldives and the United States share a strong partnership based on mutual respect, goodwill, and understanding. I look forward to strengthening our cooperation, address mutual challenges and work towards advancing global peace and prosperity.”
Trump's victory came after securing key swing states, including North Carolina and Georgia, in a tightly contested race against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. This marks Trump’s return to the presidency after his previous term from 2017 to 2021.

The Republican candidate’s projected victory in Pennsylvania has put him three Electoral votes short of winning the presidency. He is expected to get those votes from Alaska, if not from the remaining swing states.
Republicans have taken control of the Senate. They have won 13 of their Senate races, according to AP projections, giving them a 51-seat majority in the 100-seat chamber.
