Trump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggests
NegativeWorld Affairs
- A global survey conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations indicates that Donald Trump's America-first policy is perceived as enhancing China's global standing rather than strengthening the United States. The survey reveals that traditional adversaries of the U.S. feel less threatened, while allies, particularly in Europe, express growing distance from the U.S. leadership.
- This shift in perception is significant as it suggests a decline in U.S. influence and credibility on the world stage, raising concerns among allies about the reliability of American support in international matters.
- The findings reflect a broader trend of geopolitical realignment, where U.S. actions under Trump's administration, including aggressive policies towards NATO and China, are prompting allies to reconsider their strategic partnerships and responses to rising powers like China, which is reporting record trade surpluses despite U.S. tariffs.
