Exclusive: poll across 15 countries finds ‘deep mistrust’, with majority doubting US would come to their aid in an attack
European confidence in an American “security guarantee” has hit a historic low, a survey suggests, with only one in 10 people across 15 countries seeing the US as an ally and majorities in all doubting it would come to their aid if they were attacked.
The survey, published on Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank before critical G7 and Nato summits in France and Turkey over the coming weeks, revealed “deep European distrust in the US”, the authors said.
It also showed that, while many Europeans felt relations with Washington would improve once Donald Trump leaves office, they were increasingly ready in the meantime to protect themselves against US unreliability by bolstering Europe’s defence.
Good to see hypocritical European politicians finally opening their eyes
They surveyed politicians? I thought they asked citizens.
Not surprising. The US is now a rogue state.
As an American: fair. We have been proving to be quite the assholes (understatement) lately.
I hope that someday we can gain that trust back but that won’t be for quite sometime and only if we can make a major turn for the better.
80 years of investing in soft power down the drain. I’m the nineties people looked up to America. Every movie maar you interested in American culture.
Great again yet?
Era of great American media seems to have ended. So few good movies or shows anymore. Just one cop drama show after another and 5 star out of 10 rated movies. Even reddit sucks. Used to train AI and run by a zionist war crimes cheerleader.
1 in 10 ? that number is too damn high !
There is always that guy or girl with an american flag tattooed that tells you how great it is and that tgey wishes they could move to texas or something
Lack of proper plumbing has caused this issue.
There is always one mother fucker!!!
Im guessing that one in ten is the european maga equivalents.
You’re looking for the word morons
Same same really
majorities in all doubting it would come to their aid if they were attacked.
I do believe (maybe naively) if Europe was attacked, that the US would help, probably wouldn’t need them, but it would be more to their advantage to help, than if they didn’t. But I don’t trust the US in terms of keeping their “house” in order. The big companies that are around the world heavily lobbying, breaking laws and encouraging blatant corruption, came from there and now the rest of the world have to deal with them. They also voted Trump in.

But the bozo we have in charge here is entirely transactional. So if Europe were attacked, the US might send help, but might send all out troops back via Greenland, then decide that it’s only fair for “Europe” to hand it over in exchange.
No doubt he would. He would probably ask the British Royal Family to hand over Canada as well… 😅
Iran has shown that the US military is toothless against a midweight power, so dont worry too much. And even now very few Americans would sign up to hurt Canadians. Canadian approval of Americans is super low, but Canada and Canadians still poll extremely high in the US. 80% approval of Canada, right now, although thats down from 91% two years ago.

No, he’d probably settle for Princess Charlotte. (But those attackers better be quick about it; in a few years she will be too old…)
I’m an American and I see our federal government and corporations as openly hostile to me too.
Yep was about to say that myself. As an American America is not my Ally.
Another American here also feeling the same.
It really sucks. i hope you and your loved ones will be able to live in a free and democratic country with a social safety net some day. All the best to you!
I’m amazed it’s that high
Thats probably a lower rate than current European support for… hitler. or putin.
Someone in the previous comments said Amerrica is a cancer, but I bet we probably still have higher polling rate than actual cancer. …Probably.
