A recent poll from the Pew Research Center indicates growing unease among Americans regarding President Donald Trump's foreign policy decisions. The survey, conducted in late March, highlights significant skepticism towards his handling of international conflicts and trade relations.

Key Findings:

  • Ukraine-Russia War: A substantial 43% of Americans believe President Trump is excessively supportive of Russia in its conflict with Ukraine. Doubts arise from his efforts to pressure President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into accepting a peace agreement.
  • Tariff Concerns: Over half of those polled anticipate negative consequences from President Trump's proposed tariffs. This sentiment was captured even before recent trade war escalations and recession predictions. Only about 25% believe the tariffs will benefit the country.
  • Territorial Ambitions: President Trump's proposals to annex Greenland and were met with considerable opposition. A majority of Americans disapprove of acquiring either territory.
  • Israel-Palestine Conflict: Public opinion is divided, with 31% feeling President Trump is too pro-Israel, while 29% believe he has achieved a balanced approach.
