Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau Congratulates Biden's Election Victory Without Watching Trump

Implying Resolution of Conflict with Trump
Trump's 'Close Friend' UK Prime Minister Johnson Also Quickly Congratulates

[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quickly sent his congratulations to U.S. President-elect Joe Biden. Other world leaders are also rushing to extend their congratulations.

On the 7th (local time), immediately after U.S. media declared Biden's victory, Prime Minister Trudeau tweeted, "Congratulations to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris. I look forward to working with both of them."

Trudeau also mentioned, "Our two countries are friends, partners, and allies. We share a special relationship globally."

Trudeau's remarks that day are interpreted as a signal to the U.S. side to form a new relationship, considering the conflicts over trade and other issues between the two neighboring countries during President Trump's administration.

U.S. media noted that while President Trump is emphasizing his refusal to accept the election results, Trudeau promptly congratulated President-elect Biden.

French President Emmanuel Macron also tweeted, "The United States has chosen their new president. Congratulations to Joe Biden and (Vice President-elect) Kamala Harris."

President Macron added, "To overcome today's challenges, we have much to do together," urging, "Let's work together."

Although President Macron had a close relationship with President Donald Trump, conflicts arose later over NATO issues, the introduction of digital taxes, and the Paris Climate Agreement.

Even leaders who had close ties with President Trump sent congratulations to Biden. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who had a close relationship with President Trump, tweeted, "The United States is our most important ally," and expressed, "I look forward to working closely on shared priorities from climate change to trade and security."
