US president-elect Donald Trump has spoken with Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in what Trump's transition team described as "a short congratulatory call" on his election victory last month.
"The president-elect and the First Minister look forward to strengthening the relationship between Scotland and the United States," a statement from Trump's team says.
Sturgeon's office adds that she used the call to emphasise the "values Scotland and the United States share".
