“The President of the United States and political decisions made by the United States have a relevance for those beyond its borders in our global community," said Deputy Ferbrache. "Particularly at this time in history with so many global challenges facing us that require a coordinated response from all jurisdictions large and small."

Mr Biden will become the US' oldest ever President aged 77, while Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris will become the first woman in American history to hold the position. 

"I would like to extend my congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and to Kamala Harris on her historic achievement. I wish them, the United States and its friends around the world – in which I include the Bailiwick of Guernsey – the very best for the coming four years.”

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also commended Mr Biden on his successful election campaign, however, it remains to be seen how the US and UK's historically close ties will evolve under Biden's administration.

The President-elect has previously described Mr Johnson as a "physical and emotional clone" of his bitter US election rival, while his team are critical of the UK's decision to leave the EU.

Mr Biden, who is of Irish heritage, is reportedly dead set against anything that could endanger the Good Friday Agreement, which could have implications on how the UK approaches its controversial Internal Market Bill.
