US election: World leaders who haven't congratulated Biden
bbc ^ | NOVEMBER 9, 2020

Posted on 11/09/2020 10:46:27 AM PST by MarvinStinson

With Biden projected to win the US presidency, many world leaders hastened to congratulate him.

But some have been conspicuous in their absence.

Some have gone further, backing unsubstantiated Trump made about voter fraud.

Russian President Vladimir Putin

Four years ago Mr Putin was among the first to congratulate Trump on his election victory, but there has been no message to Biden this time.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the reason was the legal challenges being launched by the Trump campaign.

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa

Mr Jansa has repeated allegations of voter fraud carried out by Democrats.

Mr Trump's wife Melania is Slovenian.

Estonian Interior Minister Mart Helme

Mr Helme made allegations about widespread fraud in the US election and repeated unsubstantiated corruption allegations against Biden and his son Hunter.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro\

Bolsonaro is often considered to be an ally of Trump, so much so that he has been described as the "Trump of the Tropics".

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador

The Mexican leader said he would wait for "all legal issues" to be resolved.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

While Netanyahu congratulated Mr Biden, observers have noted the absence of the words "president-elect" and "vice-president-elect" in his message.

Saudi ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

The Saudi crown prince has congratulated Mr Biden on his election victory - but only on Sunday, 24 hours after the news broke.

Chinese President Xi Jinping

China has held off on giving any reaction to the US election results.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said Beijing would watch while "US law and procedures" were followed.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

There has been no response to the election result from Mr Kim.

The North Korean leader has called Mr Biden "a fool of low IQ".

How funny. After being bashed the other day for congratulating Biden, now Netanyahu is criticized for not congratulating him as President elect, which he's not other than in media eyes. That comes after an electoral vote or a concession.

No...bibi congratulated Biden..I saw it and was disgusted by his remarks. Talking about how 'Biden is a good friend to Israel' and 'they've always had a warm friendship'. Then he turned right around and bid Donald Trump ado by saying' Thank you President Trump' I'll have to look up the actual article but he just basically discounted President Trump completely. It was a complete slap in Trump's face and to the supporters of both Israel and Trump.

The commies are already saying they will be moving the American embassy from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv and that's only the beginning.

This article sounds like fake news. China is salivating and has made that known. Bibi did congratulate Biden and I do believe used the words President elect.

You are wrong.


While Netanyahu congratulated Mr Biden, observers have noted the absence of the words “president-elect” and “vice-president-elect” in his message.

“”I would like to open with greetings to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. For almost 40 years I have had a personal, long and warm relationship with Joe Biden and I know him as a big friend of the state of Israel,” he said in a video statement.

Mr Netanyahu concluded the message by paying tribute to Mr Trump for his friendship towards Israel and him personally, and thanking him for recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, overturning decades of US policy, and for his hardline stance on Iran.

“North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
There has been no response to the election result from Mr Kim.
The North Korean leader has called Mr Biden “a fool of low IQ”

Now pray tell; who can argue with Kim Jong-un on that very truthful statement? Not me.

A slap in the face. There was no reason for him to come out to begin with not while its known worldwide that this election has not yet been decided.
