How does the global perception of America affect our country's relationships and policies with other nations?

Data: Pew Research Center; Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios The U.S. is losing standing abroad as President Trump's foreign policy fuels doubts about whether America can still be counted on, according to new polling. Why it matters: The Pew Research Center findings capture how Trump's second-term approach is reshaping America's image, with allies and partners increasingly viewing Washington as unreliable, self-interested and less committed to global cooperation. By the numbers: Seventy-six percent of people in 36 countries have no confidence in Trump, while 23% trust his leadership, according to the survey released Tuesday.

The big picture: Trump has taken an aggressive approach toward global organizations such as the United Nations, calling it ineffective. He withdrew the U.S. from several U.N. commitments, reduced funding contributions and repeatedly criticized its leadership. Some world leaders viewed his decision to convene more than two dozen countries for the inaugural summit of his Board of Peace in February as an attempt to undermine the U.N.NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is in Washington, D.C., this week to meet with Trump and reaffirm the alliance's relationship with the U.S. The partnership has been strained as Trump threatens to withdraw from NATO, which would need congressional approval.The White House didn't respond to Axios' request for comment.
