Confidence in the U.S. president among Indians has fallen to its lowest level in roughly 25 years, and unfavourable views of America have climbed to a record high, according to a recent Pew Research Centre survey.
The survey shows only 45% of Indians hold a favourable view of the US while 31% have an unfavourable view of America, marking the highest negative rating over the last quarter century.
Just 39% of Indians have confidence in President Donald Trump to do the right thing in world affairs, the lowest confidence rating in a US president during that same time period.
Indians disapprove of Trump's use of tariffs, handling of conflicts involving Venezuela and Iran, and Washington's restrictive immigration policies.
The downturn marks a negative shift in Indian perceptions of America, reversing two decades of relatively stable, positive views.
