"I would like to congratulate Donald Trump on being elected the next President of the United States following a hard-fought campaign. Britain and the United States have an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise. We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defence," May said in a statement.
The UK prime minister added that she was looking forward to working with Trump "to ensure security and prosperity of our nations in years ahead."
Earlier in the day, Trump won the US presidential elections despite most of the analysts and opinion polls predicting his defeat to Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump got 289 electoral votes against Hillary Clinton`s 218 votes out of 270 needed to win.
