Poll: Global community doesn't trust Trump on foreign affairs
The majority of people around the world have little confidence that President Trump will do the "right thing" in world affairs, according to a new poll published by the Pew Research Center. Despite the unpopularity of Mr. Trump, the U.S. is still viewed favorably by the global community.
The poll found 64% of countries surveyed said they do not have confidence that Mr. Trump will do the "right thing" in world affairs. This sentiment is particularly strong in western Europe, where under 25% of people in Spain, France and Germany say they have confidence in Mr. Trump. The number is lowest in Mexico, where only 8% of people have confidence in Mr. Trump to do the "right thing" in world affairs. Mr. Trump made building a wall on the southern border a critical plank of his presidency.
Conversely, India and the Philippines have relatively high confidence in Mr. Trump, with 56% and 77% confidence, respectively. Mr. Trump has cultivated relationships with the controversial leaders of those two countries, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Israel also has high confidence in Mr. Trump.
Pew also found that the majority of Mr. Trump's policies were unpopular globally. A median of 68% across the nations polled disapprove of the U.S. increasing tariffs on foreign goods, and 66% disapprove of the U.S. withdrawing from climate agreements.
