The angry tweets and comments from President Donald Trump and his advisers after the recent G7 meeting in Quebec underscore the often-confrontational approach the Trump administration has taken toward the nation’s major allies — the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada.

A review of available Gallup data underscores a massive attitudinal imbalance. Americans are very positive about their fellow G7 nations. Residents living in G7 nations, by contrast, have become very negative about U.S. leadership after Trump’s election. CONT.
