After Donald Trump was elected president in November, British academics, politicians and entrepreneurs pointed out what they considered a rather fitting coincidence: The capital city’s Trump Street, a small street in London’s financial district, feeds directly into a one-way road named Russia Row.
To the experts, it seemed like a perfect metaphor for the future of transatlantic relations. Now a new survey shows they’re not the only people anticipating stronger U.S.-Russia ties and a worsening European-American partnership.
According to the survey, conducted in December by Dalia Research and the European Council on Foreign Relations, 55 percent of Europeans think that relations between the United States and Europe will get worse under President Trump, while only 14 percent think relations will improve. Americans are a bit more optimistic: 33 percent of them think that relations will get better. The survey interviewed more than 11,000 people in the 28 member states of the European Union and the United States.
