The global image of the US has dropped to historic lows since Donald Trump took office, a survey of 25 countries has found, with only Israelis, Russians and Kenyans showing an increase in positive attitudes.
The Pew Research Center poll found that respondents generally have less confidence in Trump’s ability to lead than they do in Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping of China.
A year after confidence in the US collapsed during the real estate tycoon’s first year in power, favourable views of the country remained low in 2018, especially among the US’s closest allies.
In Canada, whose prime minister, Justin Trudeau, Trump has called “disonhest and weak”, only 39% of respondents had a positive view of the US, down from 65% at the end of the Obama presidency.
