Sir Keir Starmer has congratulated Donald Trump on his “historic election victory”, as the Republican looks set to secure a second term in the White House.
Trump clamed victory at a rally in Florida after sweeping three of the key battleground states hours after the polls closed.
In a statement, the prime minister said: “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”, he added.
Sir Keir will be keen to build bridges with Trump after the Republican politician’s campaign filed a legal complaint about Labour activists supporting Kamala Harris.
