Reactions: The world breathes relieved by the victory of Joe Biden
Russia Vladimir Putin avoids congratulating Joe Biden for the moment
Elections.Trump entrenches himself within the walls of the White House
Neither Vladimir Putin, nor Xi Jinping, nor Jair Bolsonaro, nor Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) have yet extended their congratulations to Democrat
Joe Biden
after being proclaimed by the media as the winner of the North American presidential elections.
All of them are waiting for what
Donald Trump will
do in the coming days
, who does not intend to admit his defeat at the polls and has promised to fight a legal battle to the last consequences.
Some hide in silence, others send more or less indirect signals
.
The most explicit was AMLO, who on Saturday intervened on Mexican television to follow the game of his populist neighbor to the north ... "We have to wait for the legal issues to be resolved,"
López Obrador
warned
.
"We do not want to be reckless or act lightly. We want to be respectful of self-determination and the rights of the people."
Despite Trump's racist comments and anathemas against immigrants, López Obrador has worked on a very
personal relationship with the North American friend
that culminated last July with the launch of the new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Jair Bolsonaro
has not hidden his preferences before, during and after the elections.
His son Eduardo, as the Brazilian president's envoy, visited the Republican this year wearing a "Trump 2020" cap.
In his posts on Twitter, Eduardo Bolsonaro has questioned the "integrity" and legitimacy of Joe Biden's votes.
His father has made public his
disdain for the Democrat's proposal to set aside $ 20 billion to protect the Amazon
.
The "Trump of the Tropics", as CNN calls him these days, would see his position seriously weakened (already very compromised by his lukewarm response to the coronavirus) without his great mentor from the northern hemisphere.
In 2016,
Vladimir Putin
was one of the first to congratulate Trump on his victory over Hillary Clinton.
Now she has decided to
back him implicitly
with her resistance to recognizing Joe Biden as the new president.
Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said Monday that
the Russian president will wait until "official results" are confirmed
.
The ghost of 'Russiagate' hovers in any case over the future of relations between Moscow and Washington.
Biden has warned that any interference in American politics will be construed as "the act of an adversary."
Xi Jinping
has also preferred to look elsewhere for the moment.
A Chinese government spokesman said on Monday that
the president will act "in accordance with international practice
.
"
Despite the brief approach to Trump, the distancing and animosity of the US president, who continued to speak during the "Chinese virus" campaign, is public and notorious.
Boris Johnson
did congratulate Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the electoral victory, but an
alternative message
(congratulating Trump on his "second term") came out curiously "embedded" under the official message on social networks.
A Downing Street spokesman told
The Guardian
that it was "a technical error" and dismissed political intent.
Joe Biden has even described the British 'premier' as "a physical and emotional clone of Donald Trump."
