Â鶹´«Ã½AV World Affairs Series: China, Russia, Trade and More

by

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At the dawn of a new decade, changes in U.S. foreign relations are unfolding at a breakneck pace. In just the first couple months of 2020, two major foreign trade deals have been signed, the U.S. killed an Iranian military commander in a drone strike, the U.S and Taliban have signed a partial truce in the Afghanistan War, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union has been fired, and Congress has attempted to limit the president's war powers.

President Donald Trump has met with foreign leaders from Greece, Israel, Kenya and the Venezuelan opposition leader. Meanwhile, a large crop of Democratic candidates seeks to unseat him in the upcoming election -- each with different outlooks from Trump on U.S. military, diplomacy and trade decisions.

This is a key moment in global affairs and a critical time to measure U.S. public opinion. Â鶹´«Ã½AV's annual World Affairs survey, conducted each February, sheds light on how Americans perceive their country's role in the world across a wide range of measures.
