Exclusive: Findings suggest ‘weakening of west’ as relations become more transactional, say report’s authors

Summary

A 24-country poll by the European Council on Foreign Relations shows European allies overwhelmingly oppose Donald Trump’s return to the White House, citing concerns for global peace.

Conversely, countries like India, China, Russia, and Brazil largely welcome a Trump 2.0 presidency, with many seeing him as committed to ending wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The survey reflects shifting global power dynamics, a weakening “Western alliance,” and growing influence of transactional politics.
