Discover how people in 135 countries and areas rated U.S. leadership during President Donald Trump's third year in office -- and how the global image of U.S. leadership compares with the leadership of Germany, China and Russia.
How has President Trump's foreign policy affected global perceptions of U.S. leadership? And what implications does this have for America's influence around the world?
