Just 1 in 10 Europeans now view the U.S. as an ally, according to poll
A recent poll conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations found that only 11% of Europeans view the US as an ally, down from 16% six months ago. The poll suggests a collapse in faith in the US among Europeans, with half viewing the US as a necessary partner and 25% seeing it as a rival or adversary. The results of the poll may be influenced by recent actions taken by President Trump, including threats to leave NATO and annex Greenland.
