Gone are the rosy halcyon days of kindness and close-knit friendships between countries. This is a poll conducted by the PEW research group.  It's a stark contrast from a few years ago, when the United States of America was considered the top #1 ally to Mexico and Canada.

But now, with the tariffs and harsh political fallout and perceptions of injustices that cannot be explained, the sad news is stark. After becoming a literal punching bag for the United States of America, Canada has to fight for it's survival.

Though fewer than half of people in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, India, Italy, Mexico and Poland name the U.S. as their most important ally, it is still the most common response in each of these nations. In Kenya, as well as in Nigeria, similar shares see the U.S. and China as top allies. And in Hungary, similar shares name the U.S. and the European Union. 

In countries where the U.S. is not the most common response, there are a few others that tend to rise to the top:

Germany is the most common response in France and the Netherlands.

France is the most common response in Germany and Greece.

In Indonesia and South Africa, more people name China than any other country.
