A recent survey shows India's positive views of America and Trump have significantly declined. Confidence in President Trump dropped thirteen points, while views of the US fell nine points. Trade friction and dismissive remarks contributed to this erosion of goodwill. China's image saw only a small improvement, failing to gain significant traction. India remains more comfortable with the US, but with less enthusiasm for its leader.

The change is driven by improved perceptions of China and declining views of the United States.

The world has largely viewed the U.S. more favorably than China for years, but those opinions now have flipped in Beijing’s favor.
