A European poll labels Donald Trump as an ‘adversary’ by half of its respondents. The Japanese media reported this, underlining the shifted perception of the former U.S. president in Europe. While the specific details of the poll such as the demographics and method of collection are unknown, it showcases a potentially divided European perspective on Trump's influence on international politics.

In Japan, American politics spark a significant interest due to the strong diplomatic ties between the two countries, as well as the U.S.’s significant influence in global affairs. Japanese citizens often keep an eye on the political scene in the U.S. as it directly or indirectly can affect Japan's foreign relations, national security, economy, and other aspects of society.

In the U.S., the perception of Trump is staunchly divided, with a fervent base of supporters on one side and staunch critics on the other. European perceptions tend to reflect more global views, which typically skew more critical given various international incidents during his term.
