Poll shows big problem for Trump's trade deal: It's Trump [View all]

(Politico) There’s a fundamental challenge facing the nascent trade deal the United States and United Kingdom just unveiled: Neither country trusts the man behind it.

A wide majority of American and British adults support their governments reaching a deal, according to a POLITICO-Public First poll conducted last month, but less than one-third of respondents in the U.K. and 44 percent of Americans said they believed President Donald Trump would abide by it. Nearly half of Americans, including 25 percent of his own voters, said Trump’s unpredictability is the biggest barrier to negotiations.

The poll offers a sobering assessment of how Trump’s whiplash-inducing approach to tariffs has eroded the United States’ credibility in other countries — a warning for the White House that its combative approach is pushing longtime allies toward its biggest economic rival: China.
