Some foreign supporters of trump said he needed to acknowledge his loss.
In statements and interviews on Sunday, allies such as Germany and Britain stressed a desire to work together with the Biden administration on major challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.
Amid the brief messages of congratulations that are typical following an election, some leaders underscored a need for a return to multilateralism and cooperation.
