Faith in U.S. leadership shaken, Pew’s 25-nation poll finds
Most want Washington to continue leadership role, not Beijing
President Donald Trump has shaken global faith in U.S. leadership, an international survey found, as confidence in him lags behind other major world leaders including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping.
The Pew Research Center found 70 percent of people surveyed across 25 countries this year said they lacked confidence in Trump, compared with 27 percent who said they trusted the American president’s handling of international affairs.
The poll of more than 26,000 people found that opinions of Trump continued to fall among some of America’s closest allies and neighbors, with only 9 percent of French citizens and 6 percent of Mexicans expressing favorable views of him.
Still, respondents in almost every country said it would be better for the U.S. to remain as the top global power, rather than China, which is seen as a rising power. ............................................
Overall, about 50 percent surveyed continued to hold favorable views of the U.S.
The results provide the latest illustration of global unease over Trump’s “America First” agenda, in which he has imposed tariffs, dismissed the value of multilateral institutions and withdrawn from international agreements. Trump vowed to “reject the ideology of globalism” last week in a speech to the United Nations, where some attendees appeared to laugh at his claims to have accomplished more than almost any U.S. administration.
Less Popular Than Putin
