Recent surveys show that many countries around the world disapprove of America's position on issues. This is not surprising since Trump has pointed out that the European Union, Japan, China, South Korea, Mexico and Canada have unfair trade balances with the United States and Trump is determined to level the playing field. Trump has said that Germany, Japan and South Korea should pay more for the military protection the US is providing. Trump has demanded that NATO countries pay their fair share which they are not doing. Trump has questioned why the US is paying 25% of the United Nations expenses when there are 190 country members. He declined to enter the Trans Pacific Trade deal and refused to join the Paris Climate Agreement. He speaks to world leaders in ways that most consider unpresidential.
