"Trump is harmful"...South Korea, 24 countries 'sad' in polls

A poll on the impact of the U.S. "Second Trump" administration on each country showed that the Korean people showed the most pessimistic response among the 24 countries surveyed.

The Guardian reported that pessimistic public opinion prevailed in countries close to the United States, including South Korea, when the European Council on Foreign Relations, a diplomatic research institute in the European Union, asked "Is Trump's election a good thing or a bad thing?"

In particular, only 11% of South Korea said "good," while 67% said "bad," the highest percentage of negative responses.

After Korea, there were many pessimistic responses from the UK, '11 EU countries', and Switzerland.

By comparison, there was a prevailing mood in India, Russia and China, as well as in Ukraine to welcome Trump's second term.

The European Diplomatic Association said long-time U.S. allies lament Trump's return to power, but almost all other countries do not, adding that Europe's relations with the U.S. are "at a crossroads."
