Gallup said 5 per cent of the roughly 1,000 adults taking part in the survey called the United States its own worst enemy, the highest level recorded by the Washington-based advisory firm since it started asking the question in 2001.
North Korea followed the United States at 4 per cent, which fell from 7 per cent in 2023 – having already declined from 51 per cent in 2018.
Of those named as favourable, Canada and Japan were followed by Britain, Germany, France and Taiwan, coming in at 82 per cent, 79 per cent, 78 per cent and 77 per cent, respectively.
