A majority of Europeans view the U.S. as a necessary partner for the EU, while 22 percent consider it an ally. Overall, negative opinions of the U.S. as an adversary or rival represent less than 12 percent of public opinion. It is important to note that this survey was conducted in late 2024, the month before Donald Trump re-entered the White House, and European perceptions may have subsequently shifted due to the new administration's shifting stance on trade, the War in Ukraine, and Greenland's sovereignty, among other actions during the early months of this term.
