US election: What could Donald Trump's win mean for the UK?

Donald Trump will return to the White House after claiming a stunning US election victory over Democrat opponent Kamala Harris.

He took the swing state of Michigan to pass the threshold of 270 electoral college votes needed to give him the keys to the White House for a second term.

But what could the former president's second stint in office mean for the UK? The Standard's deputy political editor Jitendra Joshi explains.

Yvette my twin sister who i miss asks me when coming to visit her i told not ever don't like travelling dont hold a passport, nevsr had one, but glad you won so here's to america

[leenapier]

Think he just nailed it there, Europe wanted Harris so America would bear the financial weight whereas Trump says pay your fair share!

[jenniferbarry]

Is there anything that Starmer and co get right?

[Questionsandconsequences]

Thank god and all the Trump family, campaign and voters... This is a genuine ray of hope for freedom of speech and all democratic Christians, Jewish, atheist and peace loving cultures and religions. Donald will unite the free world and end Islamic extremists and terrorists... The Iranian people will welcome Donald's historic victory as Donald will free them from the sick Islamic extremists who masquerade as leaders.

Hopefully Trump snubs starmer.
Remembers that starmer is multi faced.

Thanks to Starmer, he trashed the relationship!

[dirtydawg]

“The stability of Harris” - he cannot be serious - look at the Mexican border!! - bloke is a clown

[lindahoey]

Starmer continues to shoot himself in the foot
HE'S UNFIT SO CALLED LEADER...

[ApoIIo]

Trump will likely want nothing to do with Starmer or the UK after what Starmer had said. The UK is on its own. 😅😅

It’s so bizarre to me as an American that other counties would send out people to campaign for any political party.
It’s so odd.
That said I’m a proud American Republican.

Starmer? Just who is that man? Two tier, two faced, two at. What was Davy Grays 'in the water' hit?
