According to a new survey of citizens in 37 countries
around the world, more people have confidence in Russian President
Vladimir Putin to "do the right thing regarding world affairs" than his
US counterpart, Donald Trump.
27%
say they have confidence in Putin while 22% say they have confidence in
Trump; In comparison to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, about whom 42%
say they have confidence.
The poll
goes on to explain that much of the distrust in Trump is born of the
policies he has pursued in his first five months in office. More than
seven in 10 oppose Trump's decision to withdraw from major international
trade deals and his announcement that the US would pull out of the
Paris climate accords.
