World leaders rush to befriend Trump while others stay cautious

Global power-players from developing regions show surprising warmth towards Donald Trump after his win. Unlike the cold response to Joe Biden four years ago many countries are quick to extend their good-wishes

You are my favorite president

We expect our dear friend Trump to abandon the erroneous policies of the previous administration

Leaders from India Indonesia and Nigeria share positive outlook while Europe stays worried. A pre-election poll shows that citizens in many non-Western nations wanted Trump to win — which matches their leaders current stance

Many rulers see Trump as someone who wont push hard on social issues and human-rights: this makes him an attractive partner for countries with less-than-perfect records. Thai officials think a new trade-war between US and China could help their economy (even though the country deals with political issues right now)

Climate-policy is another big reason for support. Oil-rich nations dont like Joe Bidenʼs green-focused rules that slow down fossil-fuel projects. Countries like Nigeria and Saudi Arabia hope Trump will be more open to their energy exports‚ but his promise to boost US production might affect their plans

Trade opportunities look good to some nations. India wants to restart its mini-deal talks from Trumps first term‚ and South-East Asian countries hope to get more US business if China faces new tariffs. However Oxford Economics says a possible 20% tax on all imports could cut US-Asia trade by 3-8%

Some countries have real worries too. Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico faces threats of huge tariffs if migrant issues dont improve. Thailand and Indonesia must be careful – they want US help against China but dont want to make Beijing angry. Still emerging powers know they need to work with US no matter whos in charge‚ as their global influence keeps growing
