G7 Leaders Express Lack of Confidence in Trump, New Pew Poll Reveals
A recent Pew Research Center poll indicates a significant lack of confidence in President Donald Trump among G7 nations, with disapproval ratings exceeding 60% in all six countries surveyed. CNN analyst Harry Enten discussed the alarming findings, revealing that Japan holds a 61% no-confidence rating, the UK at 62%, Italy at 68%, Canada at 77%, France at 78%, and Germany leading with a staggering 81%.
This overwhelming sentiment represents a stark shift from opinions during former President Joe Biden’s tenure, where the median no-confidence rate was 51%. By 2025, Trump’s no-confidence rating has soared to 73%, highlighting growing concerns amongst America’s allies regarding his handling of international relations.
Enten emphasized the potential implications of these figures, noting that the negative perceptions of Trump’s foreign policy capabilities are likely to influence the dialogues of G7 leaders. The poll also highlights a deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and Canada, with 91% of Canadians expressing a desire to reduce economic reliance on the United States—a statistic Enten described as unprecedented.
The conversations around these sentiments come at a tumultuous time as Trump departed the G7 summit early due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, following an unexpected attack by Israel on Iran. The political landscape is shifting, and the implications for international relations and trade may be significant as trust erodes between the U.S. and its G7 allies. The results of this poll serve as a critical barometer of how Trump’s leadership is perceived on the global stage.
