Egypt will ask Muslim nations for their support at a meeting in Saudi Arabia on Friday.

#Australia - Trump bigger threat to world peace than Putin or Xi Jinping | Dr Emma Shortis on Sky News: The Australia Institute

4 March 2025

More Australians consider US President Donald Trump a greater threat to world peace than Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping. In a poll of 2009 Australians, conducted before the weekend’s disastrous White House event with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, 31% rated Trump the greatest threat to world peace, compared to Russian President Putin (27%) and Chinese President Xi (27%). 15% were unsure. Almost half (49%) said they felt less secure since the election of President Trump. 17% feel more secure. “This is a potentially seismic shift in Australian thinking about America,” said Dr Emma Shortis, Director of the International & Security Affairs Program at The Australia Institute. “One in three Australians now view the leader of our most important security ally as a bigger threat to world peace than the leaders of the world’s two most powerful authoritarian states. “This is not limited to Australia. For example, nearly half of all Danish voters see the United States as a greater threat than North Korea or Iran. “The United States’ traditional allies are looking on with trepidation and sadness. “The collapse of democracy and the rule of law in the United States is in no one’s interests.”
