President extends congratulations to US president-elect Trump

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has sent his warm congratulations to Donald Trump on his electoral victory, following his successful bid in the United States presidential election. In his message, President Muizzu expressed his confidence that the Maldives and the United States will continue to build on their strong partnership, which is based on mutual respect, goodwill, and a shared commitment to global peace and prosperity. He emphasized that both nations share common goals, and that he looks forward to strengthening cooperation between the two countries in addressing global challenges such as climate change, sustainable development, and international security. The 2024 U.S. presidential election, held on November 5, saw Donald Trump secure the necessary electoral votes to win a second term, defeating his Democratic opponent. This victory marks Trump’s political comeback after serving as the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Despite facing significant challenges during his previous term, including two impeachment trials, Trump maintained a large base of support, culminating in his return to the White House.
