‘No one likes us’: Americans debate US foreign policy
As President Trump wraps up his Middle East tour, it’s clear his foreign policy marks a sharp departure from that of former President Joe Biden. He has withdrawn the U.S. from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord, cut numerous foreign aid programs and pursued closer ties with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. He has also floated the idea of taking over foreign territories, such as Greenland and the Gaza Strip, and imposed severe tariffs on longtime U.S. trading partners, including China.
According to an April 2025 Pew Research poll, just a few months into his presidency, Trump received mixed to negative ratings from most Americans. Among Republicans, however, support tends to follow party lines on key issues. In the case of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, 57% of Republicans say Trump is handling it correctly, while only 16% believe he’s being too soft on Russia. Democrats strongly disagree — 72% say Trump is leaning too far toward Moscow.
Watch the latest 34-minute episode of America Speaks as pollster and political analyst Dr. Frank Luntz talks to Americans about U.S. foreign policy under Trump — specifically, whether China poses a threat, the country’s role in the Russia-Ukraine war and whether Trump’s acceptance of a gift plane from Qatar raises ethical concerns.
