The global congratulations for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris historic win over President Donald Trump ranged from leaders expressing their delight and relief to humorlike the Australian newspaper that ran the headline Phew, or the cheeky London Sunday Times with its play on Trumps criticism of the former vice president: Sleepy Joe Wakes up America. Londons Madame Tussauds wax museum wasted no time in changing Trumps presidential red tie and suit to a purple golfing outfit.

But many others who had banked on a Trump re-election have remained silent, including Russian president Vladimir Putin, Chinese president Xi Jinping, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Brazilian president Jair Bolsanaro and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who had called Biden a low-IQ individual who is seized by ambition for power. Nor has the world heard from the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who has benefitted from Trumps ambivalence over condemning him for his involvement in the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he would wait to congratulate the president elect until Trumps legal challenges are played out. We dont want to be reckless, he said Sunday.
Hungarian prime minister Victor Orban, a vocal supporter of Trump, wished Biden luck in a statement from his press secretary. Allow me to congratulate you on the successful presidential campaign, the statement signed by Orban said. I wish you good health and continuous successes in carrying out your extremely responsible mission.
