Nearly three-quarters of Britons say the US poses a serious threat to global peace, according to a new survey. Sky News and The Independent both report that the figure is close to 75%, describing a sharp rise compared with two years ago.
The reports cite findings from the British Social Attitudes survey, which HuffPost UK says is published by the National Centre for Social Research. HuffPost UK adds additional context, including comparative threat perceptions for other countries and detail about how views shifted since Donald Trump’s re-election. It links the change in public attitudes to concerns among European allies about US policy on Ukraine and describes wider disruption tied to events involving Iran and Israel. It also reports how many respondents prefer closer ties with western Europe or the EU rather than with Trump-aligned approaches.
Overall, outlets agree on the headline result: the US is increasingly viewed as a threat to global peace. Differences are mainly in how much extra comparative and policy context is included, rather than the central finding.
