Speaking from Westminster, Mr Robinson said: "Elections can be divisive, as this election has been, but the conclusion has been decisive. The American people have given a strong mandate to President Trump to serve as the 47th President. I congratulate him, the Vice President elect JD Vance, and their team for achieving what has rightly been described as the greatest political comeback of all time.

"In President Trump's last term, the door of the White House was open, and indeed many regarded his Presidency as one of balance and fairness regarding our own local political divisions. I trust he adopts the same approach to the 47th presidency as he did the 45th, and the ties between the US and Northern Ireland remain strong. I wish him well."
