WASHINGTON (AP) — A new multi-nation survey finds that confidence in Donald Trump’s ability to manage foreign policy should be become U.S. president is rock-bottom in a host of countries in Europe and Asia.
In seven of 15 countries outside of the U.S. polled by Pew Research Center, Trump’s ratings are in the single digits. Large majorities in 11 of the countries have little or no confidence in the prospective Republican presidential nominee ability to manage international affairs. That includes 92 percent of Swedes and 82 percent of Japanese. He polls best in China.
His Democratic rival Hillary Clinton fares much better overall. A median of 59 percent in Europe have confidence in her — compared with just 9 percent for Trump.
