'God Bless America': how the world's newspapers reported Biden's win

The world's media reacted to President-elect Biden's victory in last Tuesday's election. Observers took an optimistic tone, seeing Biden's victory as a welcome change to the state of American politics. Words like "liberation" and "relief" were used to describe the outcome. Specifically in Brazil, newspapers painted the defeat of Trump as a warning for their right-wing populist President Bolsonaro. In Sweden, a conservative paper voiced concern over Trump's attacks on the integrity of the election. Throughout the world, people and news organizations recognize the challenges that face America at this time, but they voice a sense of relief and happiness over the election of Biden and, perhaps more importantly, the defeat of Trump.
