President Donald Trump’s trade agenda and recent military action in the Middle East are straining America’s relationships with other countries
A new Politico-Public First poll reveals a sharpening divide between the United States and its traditional allies, the UK, France, Canada, and Germany, as President Donald Trump reshapes the country’s foreign policy.
The data suggests that nearly half of respondents in four nations believe Washington creates more global problems than it solves.
Trump’s trade agenda and recent military action in the Middle East are straining relationships with other countries, many of whom view the US as a negative force.
Domestically, while 77% of Trump voters view the US as a positive global force, the share of Democrats feeling the same has declined from 69% in 2024 to 58% now.
