WASHINGTON: As has been the case throughout his presidency, US President Donald Trump receives largely negative reviews from publics around the world, foreign media reported.
Across 32 countries surveyed by Pew Research Center, non-partisan Washington-based think tank, a median of 64% say they do not have confidence in Trump to do the right thing in world affairs, while just 29% express confidence in the American leader.
Regions or countries antagonised by Trump’s flagship “America First” approach to trade or foreign policy show a particular distrust of Trump, the “Global Attitudes Survey” found. The survey polled 36,923 people in 32 countries from May 18 to October 2, 2019, showed.
The anti-Trump sentiment is especially common in Western Europe, where at least three-in-four people in Germany, Sweden, France, Spain, and the Netherlands stating that they lack confidence in Trump. In Mexico too, a country that Trump has previously disparaged, 89% of those surveyed said they do not have confidence in him. As reported by Pew in 2017, international confidence in the US president plummeted after Trump’s inauguration, while favorable ratings for the United States also declined.
Pew said disapproval is strongest for Trump’s policies of increasing tariffs or fees on imported goods from other countries (68%), withdrawing from international climate change agreements (66%) and building a wall on the US-Mexico border (60%). Most also disapprove of Trump’s policies to allow fewer immigrants into the US (55%).
A median of 52% also said they disapproved of the US withdrawal from the nuclear weapons agreement with Iran, an event that took place in 2018 but one that precipitated the heightened tensions with the Islamic Republic that have escalated in the last fortnight. Trump’s approach to North Korea is the only policy position tested that is viewed favorably on balance, with a median of 41% saying they approve and 36% disapproving.
Pew, which conducts regular public polls, said that in all nations where trends are available Trump receives lower ratings than his predecessor Barack Obama.
Trump is not universally disliked. The think tank notes that he has pockets of support – including in the Philippines, Israel, Kenya, Nigeria, and India – where the majority of people surveyed have confidence that the president will do the right thing in world affairs.
About seven-in-10 have confidence in Trump in Israel, where 74% endorsed his decision to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and 66% back his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. In Ukraine, just under half (46%) rate the US president positively.
The Trump Administration’s foreign policy focus has, of course, shifted since the Pew survey was conducted in 2019; before revelations about Trump’s now-infamous phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, which has led to an impeachment inquiry into Trump in the US, as well as the US current hostilities with Iran.
Pew noted that it has tracked global opinion of the US since 2002 and that over that period, it has seen what it called a “substantial changes in attitudes toward the US, especially following the election of a new president.”
“The first occurred when Barack Obama replaced George W Bush: Favorability ratings of America in Europe and in many other countries soared. The opposite scenario occurred when Trump assumed the duties of president: Favorable opinion of the US plummeted in numerous countries, again particularly in Europe,” Pew noted.
Despite the majority of respondents not having confidence in Trump to do the right thing in world affairs, people around the world maintain relatively favorable views of the US, with 54% holding a favorable view as opposed to 38% with an unfavorable view. Favorable opinion of the US declined dramatically when Trump took office and remains significantly lower than during the Obama era.
Pew said that some administrative changes could have affected the 2019 results over those from 2018, including the fact that the European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation meant that survey’s introductory language placed increased emphasis on the fact that Pew is based in the US and that survey results would be sent to the US for analysis.
This could encourage respondents to answer more favorably when confronted with questions about the US and its president or policies, Pew said.Pew’s polling regarding public opinion on Trump’s foreign policies was conducted in 33 countries rather than the 32 countries surveyed on their confidence in Trump, as Lithuania was excluded from the latter category due to a processing error.
