Hey there! Did you know that many people around the world are feeling worried about the decisions made by the United States government under President Donald Trump? 🤔 A big survey asked nearly 16,000 people from 38 different countries how they feel about U.S. policies, and the results show that trust in the U.S. is going down.
What’s the Survey About?
The survey was done by CGTN, a news organization, together with Renmin University of China. They wanted to see how people feel about the U.S. government’s actions after President Trump had been in office for 100 days.
People in the U.S. Are Concerned
Many Americans are not happy with how things are going. Almost half of the American people who were asked said they are dissatisfied with the new government’s performance. 😟
- About 53% criticized the “reciprocal tariffs” policy. This means they are worried about taxes on goods coming into and out of the country, which can affect prices and the stock market.
- Over 60% believe that policies have not controlled inflation (when prices go up). This means things are getting more expensive! 🛒💰
- More than half questioned the interest rate policy, which affects how much it costs to borrow money.
Pessimism About the Future
Many Americans are worried about the future:
- 43% think the economy might get worse in the next three months.
- Nearly 48% believe the country is going in the “wrong direction.”
Among people who support the Democratic Party, even more are concerned. Over 62% are deeply worried about the future of the U.S. 😟🇺🇸
What About Other Countries?
People in other countries are also worried about their relationships with the U.S. The “America First” policy, which focuses on U.S. interests, has made some countries feel neglected.
For example:
- In Australia, over 65% of people feel pessimistic (not hopeful) about future relations with the U.S.
- In countries like France, Germany, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, more than 70% of people are worried about their ties with the U.S.
- Even in places like South Africa, Egypt, and Indonesia, confidence in relations with the U.S. has dropped a lot.
Why Does This Matter?
It’s important when countries trust each other because they can work together on big issues like peace, trade, and the environment. 🌎 When trust goes down, it can make cooperation harder.
What Can We Learn?
This survey shows that many people around the world are paying attention to what the U.S. government is doing. It’s a reminder that actions taken by one country can affect people everywhere! 🤝
Conclusion
Understanding how different countries feel about each other helps us see the bigger picture of the world we live in. Let’s hope that nations can find ways to improve relationships and work together for a better future! ✨
