Mr Albanese also emphasized in his statement the Government’s firm commitment to the enduring 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 said.
“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.”
Although the winner of the election has not yet been officially announced, Trump declared victory in front of a large group of his supporters.
He has so far received 267 Electoral College votes out of the 270 needed to win the election.
His Democratic rival Kamala Harris is still trailing in the polls with 224 votes as counting continues.

Former Australian 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 “Congratulated President Trump” and posted a photo of the two leaders in the White House during their previous terms.
