While President Donald Trump busies himself with his apoplectic rejection of Joe Biden as president-elect, world leaders have swiftly moved on. In a sign of Biden's legitimacy, leaders of major democracies have stepped up to congratulate the President-elect Joe Biden in recent days. Doubtless salt to his wound, Trump's favorite network--Fox News--and media outlets across the board have also declared Biden the projected winner of the election. Business Insider reports that as a whole, EU leaders and even Israel and Turkey have congratulated Biden. Only Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Xing Ping, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro have yet to join in.
Without exception, world leaders reacted to the news of Joe Biden becoming president-elect with glee. Heads of state from Canada, the UK, France, Ukraine, Australia, and Germany congratulated Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Saturday. According to Business Insider, the congratulatory tweets to Biden and Harris were universally conciliatory and upbeat. It's no surprise, as Biden has been critical of President Donald Trump's approach to foreign policy. Biden has consistently advocated for a less confrontational approach to working with world leaders.
