On world stage Trump loathed as much as Obama was loved, Pew survey shows
The rest of the world? Not so much.
The figures stand in marked contrast to the final years of Barack Obama's presidency, when a median of 64% expressed confidence in Trump’s predecessor to direct America's role in the world in a positive manner. The survey published Wednesday was conducted in the spring and summer of 2019, well before the Trump administration's slaying of Gen.
Story continuesAnti-Trump sentiment around the world is driven by his foreign policy actions, including increasing tariffs or fees on imported goods from other countries; withdrawing from the international climate change accord; and proposing to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. A majority of those polled disapprove of Trump’s policies to allow fewer immigrants into the USA and his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear accord.

Three Central and Eastern European nations – Poland , Lithuania and Hungary – had the most favorable opinion of the United States.
