British people’s trust in America has plummeted during Donald Trump’s first year back in power, according to a major new poll.
The YouGov survey of 4,000 people for the Best for Britain campaign group found that more than half the country – 56% – now distrust the USA, compared to 40% a year ago.
At the same time, the number of people who say they trust the UK’s long-standing ally has fallen from 30% to 15% in the last 12 months.
The findings were revealed on the first anniversary of Trump’s re-election to the White House after his victory over Kamala Harris last November.
