A survey by Pew International, covering 24 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, found a widespread lack of confidence in Donald Trump when it comes to world affairs. The countries closest to the United States showed some of the lowest levels of trust. Mexico and Canada ranked among the worst, with Sweden and Germany not far behind.
According to Alternet, even the United Kingdom, historically one of America’s closest partners, showed only 37% of respondents expressing confidence in Trump, while 63% said they had none. Japan showed similar results. Meanwhile, the only five countries where Trump had a positive net confidence rating were Hungary, Kenya, India, Israel, and Nigeria – all of which are classified as hybrid authoritarian regimes or flawed democracies by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
