We send our warm congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on winning this election, with more votes than any candidate in US history. The US Presidential election was a hard fought campaign, but the turnout of over 150 million American voters shows the strength of US democracy. As the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have said, it is not the place of foreign governments to tell candidates in a US election how they should react to these results. We have confidence in the checks and balances of the US system to resolve any disputes.
