No 鈥楤iden bounce鈥 in Europe
Print Edition
The United States鈥 reputation as the leading global power has suffered in France and Germany because of Washington鈥檚 handling of the coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 600,000 Americans, a survey showed yesterday.
On the eve of President Joe Biden鈥檚 trip to Europe, the survey by the German Marshall Fund and the Bertelsmann Foundation said he had not won back the standing of the US as it was before COVID-19 struck.
According to US research papers released on March 26, the country under the then-president Donald Trump could have avoided nearly 400,000 deaths with a more effective strategy.
鈥淭he first three months of the Biden administration have not affected French and German views of US influence in the world,鈥 the study of views in 11 countries said.
鈥淭hese numbers are in line with the results of the 2020 survey, which had fallen by about 10 points from the pre-pandemic numbers.鈥
That compares with the perception within the US that its influence abroad has risen, the survey found.
Biden embarks on his first European tour as president tomorrow to attend G7, NATO and European Union summits.
He faces the challenge of repairing transatlantic ties damaged by Trump, whose withdrawal from international agreements and sharp criticism of NATO undermined European faith in Washington.
Only 51 percent of Germans see the US as a reliable partner, rising to 60 percent in France, 67 percent in Britain and 76 percent in Poland.
Fewer than a quarter of Turks show trust in the US.
Conducted online between March 29 and April 13, the survey sampled 1,000 adults in each of the 11 countries 鈥 Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the US.
