Congratulations began pouring in Wednesday from political leaders worldwide after former President Donald Trump declared victory over his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the U.S. presidential election.

In a historic political comeback, Trump won the popular vote by over 4.6 million votes and surpassed the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win by gaining a tally of 312 votes to Harris' 226 votes.

Trump was the first candidate to secure both the electoral and popular vote since former President George W. Bush in 2004, and the first president since Grover Cleveland to notch a non-consecutive second term.

Here are five leaders' responses to Trump's reelection victory.
