The world reacts to a U.S. election like no other– a look around the world in photos.
Images of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his rival, U.S. President Donald Trump, lay on altar during a ceremony, inside an apartment in Lima, Peru, Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020. Peruvian shamans gathered to perform a ritual they believe will curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, and to predict who will win the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

Despite some friction over trade issues, the India-U.S. relationship has steadily strengthened in security and defense cooperation in the last four years. It has largely been defined by public displays of bonhomie between President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, both seen as populists.

Mexico’s economy is forecast to contract nearly 10% this year — the biggest decline in the region — and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador knows any chance of climbing out of that hole will depend greatly on a rapid U.S. economic recovery. Perhaps more important than who wins the White House will be a clear result and stability for its neighbor to the north, since the U.S. and Mexico are each other’s biggest trade partners.

Kamala Harris in Thulasendrapuram village, south of Chennai, Tamil Nadu state, India, Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020. For many Indians, the American election is personal. The prospect that vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris — who has Indian origins — could occupy the second-highest political office in the U.S. has caught the imagination of millions of ordinary people in the world’s largest democracy.

The Cyrillic letters on graffiti read “Kosovo is Serbia”. For some Serbian leaders, U.S. President Donald Trump is a hero while his challenger Joe Biden is nothing but a “Serb hater.” So, there is no surprise that Serbs living in the U.S. were called on to vote for Trump in Tuesday’s election nor that Serbia’s populist president said his victory would be better for the country.
