Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan congratulated Donald Trump on his reelection as the president of the United States on Wednesday.

"I congratulate my friend Donald Trump, who won the presidential election in the United States after a great struggle and was re-elected as the President of the United States," he wrote on X social media.

He hoped that under his presidency "Türkiye-U.S. relations will strengthen, that regional and global crises and wars, especially the Palestinian issue and the Russia-Ukraine war, will come to an end."

"I believe that more efforts will be made for a more just world. I hope that the elections will be beneficial for our friendly and allied people in the United States and for all of humanity," Erdoğan added.

Trump won 277 electoral votes compared to Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris' 224 and seven more than the number needed to become president, according to The Associated Press.

Fox News has already declared him the victor, and Trump himself has hailed his "magnificent victory."

The win would make Trump only the second U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland, who served two separate terms in the late 1800s, with ​​​​​​​President Benjamin Harrison in between.
