Study finds only 10% of Europeans view the United States as an ally

A recent poll released by a European research institute surveyed public opinion across the continent. The study revealed that only 10 percent of respondents view the United States as an ally. Support for the US was highest in Eastern Europe and lowest in Western nations. Respondents cited recent diplomatic tensions and trade disputes as key factors. The findings contrast with earlier surveys that showed broader transatlantic support. Analysts say the shift may affect cooperation on security and climate initiatives. European leaders are expected to address the perception gap in upcoming diplomatic talks. The poll underscores growing skepticism toward US foreign policy among European citizens.
