Pew Survey: US Global Image 'Tarnished' During Trump Presidency

VOA News

   America's image as a global superpower has been tarnished since Donald
   Trump won the presidency in 2016, according to the nonpartisan Pew
   Research Center.

   A 13-nation survey by the U.S. think tank found that only 41% of those
   surveyed in Britain have a favorable opinion of the U.S., the lowest
   percentage of any comparable survey Pew has conducted in the country.

   A mere 31% of the population in France views the U.S. favorably,
   mirroring survey results from March 2003, when tensions between the two
   countries peaked over the Iraq War, the survey found.

   The survey also found that much of the damage to America's
   international reputation among key allies and partners is linked to its
   handling of the coronavirus crisis. Only 15% of the participating
   countries gave the U.S. good marks for dealing with the pandemic.

   Most of the countries said the World Health Organization and the
   European Union have done an admirable job containing the pandemic.
   Almost all of the countries, except the U.S. and Britain, gave their
   countries positive grades for their handling of the outbreak.
