Anthony Albanese congrats Donald Trump on US election win.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has congratulated Donald Trump on winning the US elections.

Mr. Albanese went to X to express his feelings after Trump’s successful bid Tuesday night to win the race for the White House for a second term as president.

“Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his election victory,” he wrote.

“Australians and Americans are good friends and true allies.

“By working together, we can ensure that the partnership between our nations and peoples remains strong into the future.”

Mr Albanese reiterated the Government’s commitment to maintaining a strong relationship between Australia and the United States.

“Our government will work closely with the new Trump administration to realize the benefits of our strong economic partnership,” the statement continued.

“The United States has long played a leading role in the stability and security of the Indo-Pacific.

“Australia will seek to strengthen cooperation between our countries in the region.”

Trump declared victory in front of a large group of his supporters in Florida in the early hours of Wednesday morning US time

He has so far received 267 Electoral College votes out of the 270 needed to win the election.

His Democratic rival Kamala Harris has gained 224 votes as counting continues.

Former Prime Ministers Tony Abbot and Scott Morrison also took to social media to congratulate Trump on his sensational return to the Oval Office.

“Congratulations to President Trump on his return as leader of the free world,” Abbott wrote on X.

“Self-belief is what the West needs right now and Trump has it in abundance.”

Mr Morrison simply wrote “Congratulations President Trump” and posted a photo of the two leaders in the White House during their previous terms.

Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton also acknowledged the result on behalf of the coalition.

Mr Dutton said the two countries have an enduring security alliance that will be strengthened by the AUKUS agreement between Australia, the US and the UK.

The deal, announced in 2021 under the Morrison government, will allow Australia to acquire materials to arm its nuclear-powered submarine fleet.

Earlier, Trump proudly declared victory in a speech to his supporters.

He was joined on stage by family, including daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who were absent from the campaign.

“We made history tonight for a reason, and the reason is that we overcame obstacles that no one thought possible,” he said.

“And it is now clear that we have achieved the most incredible political result.”

The devastating moment of truth for the Harris campaign came when Fox News called Pennsylvania — the largest battleground state — in Trump’s favor.

The network also called another battleground state of Wisconsin before calling the entire race in its favor.

Trump also won the other important states of Georgia and North Carolina.

Trump will become the 47th president of the US, four years after he was removed from power.

He will be the first president in nearly 130 years to be elected leader of the US, after losing a bid to be re-elected.
