你只盯着16%这个数字，却忽略了剩下的人里有超过一半认为美国是‘必要伙伴’。

Recent polling, particularly in early 2026 following the return of Donald Trump to the White House, indicates a significant shift in European perceptions, with many now viewing the U.S. as a "necessary partner" rather than a reliable ally. 

Key Findings on U.S. Reliability (Early 2026):

• European Views: A 2025/2026 survey of 11 EU member states, plus the UK, Switzerland, and Ukraine, found that an average of 50% of Europeans now view the U.S. as a "necessary partner," with only 21% still viewing it as a reliable ally.
• Germany: In Germany, skepticism is exceptionally high, with reports indicating only 14% to 16% of respondents trust the U.S. as a reliable partner, while 76% to 82% believe the U.S. cannot be counted on.
• Netherlands: Around 80% of Dutch people no longer consider the U.S. a reliable partner.
• UK: British attitudes have reached their most negative point since 2016, with increasing numbers viewing the U.S. as a "friendly rival" or "unfriendly" rather than an ally.
• Other Regions: In Taiwan and South Korea, surveys from early 2025 also painted a "bleak picture," with the U.S. viewed as a less reliable partner in the context of security.
