The image of the United States has deteriorated sharply in much of the world since the return of President Donald Trump, with low grades both in his character and in policies, a global survey said Wednesday.
The Pew Research Center found that the favorite of the United States has decreased by 15 of the 24 countries surveyed.
Trump received his lowest grades in neighbor Mexico, which for a long time has belittled and pressured by migration, with 91% of Mexicans saying they had no confidence in world affairs.
Trump led to a descending change in the perceptions of the United States as a whole.
Both in Mexico and his neighboring team in Canada, which Trump said provocatively should be state 51 of the United States, the majorities now see the United States unfavorably after seeing the country favorably last year when Joe Biden was president.
The opinions of the United States also darkened in most of Europe, with a specially acute fall in Poland, a Ukraine front line ally, since Trump reduces the support of the United States to kyiv and seeks a negotiated solution with Russia.
Sweden, who entered NATO under Biden following the invasion of Ukraine, gave the worst grades to the United States among all the audiences surveyed, and 79% had a negative opinion of the country.
The survey found that, on average, the majorities of all the countries surveyed did not agree with all Trump's key global policies, even in Ukraine, Gaza, immigration and climate change.
80% called Trump arrogant and only 28% found him honest.
Not as bad as the first term
The opinions of the United States remained positive in Nigeria and Kenia, who have historically given high grades to the United States regardless of who is president, and India saw few changes, with more than half when he saw the United States favorably.
Since he returned to office, Trump has made one of the most radical agendas of any president of the United States who has included eviscening foreign aid and sports aggressively to migrants.
However, Trump's global perceptions, although negative, were not as bad as they were in 2017 when he first entered the White House.
Trump in the first term happened to Barack Obama, who remained very popular in most of the world.
This time, he followed Joe Biden, whose brands were similar to those of Trump worldwide on the subject of the economy, according to Janell Fetterolf, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center.
The last decade has also seen the growing normalization of right -wing populists.
In Brazil, that Trump's ideological ally, Jair Bolsonaro, led from 2019 to 2022, Trump has confidence this year of 34% of the public, low, but well above the 14% he had when he began his first term.
Throughout the world, Trump constantly enjoyed more support from men than women and people saw him more favorably to the right of the political spectrum.
But the study also showed the limits of its international appeal.
Both in Sweden and in France, Trump failed to gain the confidence of most sponsors of the nationalist parties of the extreme right, although they were more supportive than the general public.
The annual survey contacted 28,333 adults in 24 countries between January and April.
