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. About 57% of respondents view the U.S. unfavorably, compared with 37% who view it positively.Around 50% say the U.S. is an unreliable partner, compared with 47% who say it is reliable.Only 32% believe the U.S. considers other countries' interests compared to 66% who disagree. 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. Zoom in: Perceptions of U.S. reliability declined sharply among traditional allies since Pew last asked the question in 2022 under President Biden's administration. About 83% of Canadians described the U.S. as a reliable partner in 2022, compared with 35% today. U.S. standing in Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany likewise plummeted by 40
How might the Supreme Court's decision on campaign finance change the way we experience elections and political choices?
The Senate GOP campaign arm won a major Supreme Court boost in the party's bid to hold congressional majorities on Tuesday. Why it matters: Republicans' reliance on mega-donors and their cash-flush committees positions them to benefit more than Democrats from the ruling, which allows committees to spend unlimited sums in coordination with candidates as they face electoral headwinds in November. GOP officials reacted with glee to the Tuesday ruling, deriding Democrats who have criticized the decision for giving more power to the wealthiest donors."The tool is available to both sides. It should be a bipartisan issue," the NRSC's political director, Brendan Jaspers, told stakeholders on a Tuesday call, adding that Democrats are just "upset the playing field is being leveled in this way." Zooming in: The ruling means that committee dollars will stretch significantly further because they can now take advantage of cheaper ad prices available to candidates — 3 times to 13 times cheaper, according to an NRSC memo. Campaigns will also be able to tap committees' lower postage rates and benefit from streaming ad packages the committees have negotiated across states.The decision also lets committees work directly with campaigns on spending that had been capped for decades. Following the ruling, the Senate GOP campaign committee announced it would sunset its independent expenditures unit, moving to almost all coordinated ad buys with candidates — leveraging the new rules. NRSC deputy executive director Stephen DeMaura touted "total and complete victory" on the call. Officials said they have spent months preparing for this decision. By the numbers: The Republican National Committee has $125 million in cash-on-hand to the Democratic National Committee's $15 million (plus $18 million in debt) as of the end of May, according to their most recent FEC filings. The Senate GOP arm has $49 million to Democrats' $39 million.The House GOP arm has $82 million to Democrats' $73 million. Yes,
