Recent polling conducted by YouGov reveals that European sentiment towards the United States has dramatically declined during Donald Trump's second term. Since November 2016, YouGov has tracked European opinions, and the current survey results show that many Europeans view the U.S. unfavorably for the first time. This change is attributed to various factors, including Trump's contentious actions regarding Greenland, which have further soured European perceptions of America.

In countries like Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, a clear majority now harbor negative views towards the U.S. France ranks as the most favorable among these countries while still showing a significant unfavorable opinion, with 62% of respondents expressing negativity. The negative sentiment peaks in Denmark, where an alarming 84% disapprove of the U.S. Similarly high unfavorable ratings are reported in other countries, with Germany at 72%, Spain at 66%, Italy at 63%, and the UK at 64%.

These findings may have implications for U.S.-Europe relations moving forward, as growing resentment could affect diplomatic ties, trade negotiations, and collaborative efforts on global issues. The decline in favorability suggests that Trump’s approach has not resonated positively with European allies, raising questions about the future of transatlantic partnerships and shared values between the regions.
