PARIS, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Donald Trump on Wednesday after the U.S. Republican presidential candidate declared victory.

"Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity," Macron wrote on social media platform X.

Macron said he also spoke to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz after Trump's election night speech addressing supporters.

France and Germany "will work for a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe in this new context, by cooperating with the United States of America and defending our interests and our values," Macron wrote on X.

Trump declared victory early Wednesday in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as Fox News projected he held 277 Electoral College votes.

At least 270 Electoral College votes are needed to clinch the U.S. presidency. Enditem
