Argentines
are among the most negative about US leadership in the world and very large
majorities believe that the United States needs to reduce its involvement in
international affairs and the number of military bases it maintains overseas.
Argentina
is one of only two countries where a majority (55%) believes that “the US
should withdraw from most efforts to solve international problems.”
In
Argentina, contrary to the prevalent view in other countries, only one third
(34%)
believes
that the United States should “do its share in efforts to solve international
problems”
with other countries.
Just one
percent believes the United States should continue to be the “preeminent world
leader.”
Sixty-two
percent in Argentina agree with the statement that “the US is playing the role
of world policeman more than it should be,” with just 27 percent disagreeing.
An
overwhelming majority (84%) does not trust the United States to act responsibly
in the world, including 69 percent who do not trust it at all, more than any
other public polled.
Just 11
percent say they trust the United States to act responsibly.
Asked about
what the United States should do about the number of military bases it
maintains overseas, three-quarters (75%) in Argentina believe that it should
have fewer than it does now, again the largest number out of any country polled
