The reaction of world leaders to the impressive victories of the Democrats.

Jacob Evans, BBC World Service.

Not surprisingly, some of the leaders who have been the target of Donald Trump's criticism welcomed these overwhelming results from the Democratic Party.

Pedro Sánchez, Spain's leftist prime minister, said Americans voted against hatred, climate change denial and elites enjoying special concessions.

Jonas Gare Stør, the prime minister of Norway, a country Trump has come under a verbal onslaught in recent weeks for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize, said voices are emerging in the United States that are more aligned with the Oslo principles.

Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of South Africa, a country Trump has accused of committing genocide against whites, said these elections would mark the beginning of a new era in global relations.

Meanwhile, Christel Schaldemus, head of the European Parliament, expressed cautious optimism that these results might mean further support for Ukraine.
