28 per cent of Canadians believe U.S. President Trump will 'do the right thing regarding world affairs,' survey finds
U.S. President Donald Trump is seen at Winfield House in London on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickWASHINGTON -- Canadian attitudes towards U.S. President Donald Trump and his controversial approach to international relations appeared to soften slightly in the weeks after U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum exports from north of the border were lifted last spring, a new global survey suggests.
But it did follow by just days the news that Canada's year-long, tit-for-tat tariff standoff with the White House -- largely a side effect of the protracted and often tense months of negotiations over the North American trade pact -- had finally come to an end. But perhaps the most striking aspect of the global poll is that while the president remains deeply unpopular around the world, respondents continued to have a positive opinion of the country he leads.
Globally, 54 per cent of respondents reported a very or somewhat favourable view of the U.S., compared with 38 per cent who expressed unfavourable opinions.
