Trump’s Foreign Policies: What do Americans think?

BBC News

In the first few weeks in Oval Office, US President Donald Trump made several extraordinary decisions about foreign policy.
Ekhent threatened Greenland, announced Gaza’s plans to “take over”, and began to remove the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Paris Climate Agreement. The Minister also closed the government’s main overseas aid agency, the US International Development Agency (USAID).
According to the latest research by the Pew Research Center, most of these movements are not very popular among ordinary Americans. In late March, Trump searched for 3,605 US adults – just before bringing comprehensive trade tariffs to countries around the world.
Here are four packages from Pew Research.
The United States should not try to take over Greenland or Gaza, most
Trump increased his discourse about “receiving” Greenland, and Vice President JD Vance recently made a controversial trip to the Arctic Island.
However, Pew found that most of the respondents (54%) did not think that the US should seize Denmark territory. When they were asked whether Trump really followed the plan, he thought that 23% were extremely likely, but a larger number (34%) said they would not pass with him.
Trump also proposed an American seizure of the Gaza Strip and re -placed two million Palestinians in neighboring countries without the right to return. This violates international law and is defined by the UN as “equivalent to ethnic cleansing”.
62% of the respondents opposed such a movement compared to the 15% who preferred it. Trump’s opinions were divided on whether or not. Again, the larger number (38%) thought it was not very or extremely likely.
It does not approve of ending the USAID and withdrawing from whom
Trump signed executive orders to remove the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Paris Climate Change Agreement and said that the USAID would be closed to a great extent.
In the survey, more Americans do not approve of such movements – the results are not a landslide.
- It does not approve 45% of the termination of USAID programs (compared to 35%)
- 46% does not agree to leave the Paris Agreement (32% approval)
- 52% do not approve of separation (32% confirmation)
Trump prefers Russia too much, many feels
At the beginning of the second presidency, Trump said that he would “work together” to end the war in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin – a very different approach to his predecessor Joe Biden’s.
The Pew research thought that 43% of the participants preferred Trump very much – a number of higher 31%, saying that the right balance between the two sides.
However, Trump’s mood seems to have changed since the survey was conducted. He said he was “very angry” about Putin and Ukraine negotiations.
Meanwhile, Trump’s relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is increasingly closed this year.
Answering a question about whether Trump preferred Israelis or Palestinians, 31% of the respondents preferred the Israelis too much. 29% of those who think Trump hit the right balance.
However, there was a group of participants who were larger than both of them (37%). Only 3% felt that he preferred Palestinians very much.
Republicans have returned to Trump’s plans
Although the Pew Research Center was not Partizan, it was not those who participated in the survey.
The results showed that most of the participants (64%) who defined themselves as Republican – or Republican tendency support, for example, support the Republican President’s Movement to end the USAID.
This is only 9% of the participants who feel the same and feel the same in the same way.
In general, old adults supporting Trump’s foreign policy actions are more than young adults.
Pew also asked for tariffs in China, but this research was carried out before the sharp rise to the ongoing trade war.
In general, more Americans said that tariffs will personally be bad for them, but that the Republican or those who are more tilted to this party will benefit the United States.
