Canada has never hated the U.S. more

President Trump says that the U.S. is finally being "respected again" on the world stage. Other countries apparently do not agree.

The global image of the U.S. has fallen since Trump's election, according to data published by the Pew Research Center on Monday. Key allies say they have less faith in America's leadership, and many nations have little confidence in Trump himself.

Many nations still hold an overall favorable view of the U.S., but believe it's doing less to help solve major global challenges compared to previous eras. Among 10 European Union member states, just 43 percent have a favorable view of the U.S., a drastic low compared to favorability under former President Barack Obama. Those surveyed in 25 different countries have little trust in Trump — respondents have more confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The U.S. is least popular in Russia, where just 26 percent hold a favorable view, compared to 41 percent in 2017. Trump himself has lost points in Russia, too: Last year, 53 percent of Russians had a positive view of Trump, but this year only 19 percent do. Numbers also plummeted in Germany, Mexico, and Canada. Our northern neighbor has never been less pleased — a record low 39 percent of Canadians are happy with the U.S., and only 25 percent have confidence in Trump.

Favorability has increased in Israel, where 79 percent of the public says Israeli relations with the U.S. have improved. Eighty percent of South Koreans have a positive view of the U.S., and confidence in Trump has increased from 17 percent to 44 percent over the last year. There was also a positive shift in Kenya and Nigeria. One of the biggest changes across the globe: Most nations polled believe the U.S. increasingly doesn't consider the rest of the world when making foreign policy decisions.
