BERLIN ― The image of the United States has deteriorated sharply across the globe under President Donald Trump and an overwhelming majority of people in other countries have no confidence in his ability to lead, a survey from the Pew Research Center showed. Just 30 percent of Mexicans now say they have a favorable view of the United States, down from 66 percent at the end of the Obama era. “The drop in favorability ratings for the United States is widespread,” the Pew report said. Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with confidence ratings of 27 percent and 28 percent respectively, scored higher than Trump. The countries with the lowest confidence in Trump were Mexico, at 5 percent and Spain at 7 percent.
