Speaking to media in Auckland, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said "that means letting every vote being counted and letting people have their say and for a democracy to be heard. That's obviously still underway in the United States so I won't give comment until that democracy has been seen through and people get the result."

Ardern added that she felt New Zealand had done a good job in maintaining its relationship with the United States.

The vote counting continues in the United States with the winner still unknown.
