Only 11% of Europeans consider US an ally

Only 11% of Europeans across 15 countries view the United States as an ally, a historic low and down from 16% half a year ​ago and 22% in November 2024, according to a survey published ‌by the European Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday, Reuters writes.

The findings, released ahead of G7 and NATO summits, highlight Europe’s waning confidence in Washington as a reliable security partner.

Majorities in ​all surveyed countries expressed doubts that the U.S. would come to their ​defence in the event of an attack.
