Most Americans Now Say U.S. Foreign Policy Ignores the Interests of Other Countries
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that 53% of Americans believe the U.S. does not consider other countries' interests when making foreign policy decisions, a significant increase from 27% in 2023. The shift is largely driven by Democrats, with 75% now holding this view, compared to 61% during Donald Trump's first term.
A Pew Research Center survey has found that a majority of Americans (53%) believe the U.S. does not consider other countries' interests when making foreign policy decisions. This represents a significant increase from 27% in 2023, driven primarily by a shift in opinion among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Three-in-four Democrats now say the U.S. ignores other nations' interests, the largest share measured in surveys over the past two decades. In contrast, Republican views have remained relatively consistent, with at least two-thirds saying the U.S. considers other countries' interests a great deal or a fair amount. The survey also revealed a partisan divide in views on the U.S. role in global affairs, with Republicans generally seeing the U.S. as contributing to peace and stability, while Democrats tend to see the opposite. The survey found that 83% of U.S. adults believe the U.S. interferes in the affairs of other countries a great deal or a fair amount.
