Only 29 percent of people worldwide are confident in US president to do the right thing.

Donald Trump is more distrusted worldwide than Russian President Vladimir Putin or China’s Xi Jinping, according to a new poll.

The survey of people in more than 30 countries by Pew Research Center showed the U.S. president had the most negative ratings out of five world leaders when participants were asked whether they trusted them to do the right thing in world affairs.

Sixty-four percent said they had no confidence in Trump, compared with 57 percent for Putin and 43 percent for Xi. Just 29 percent had confidence in Trump.

“As has been the case throughout his presidency, U.S. President Donald Trump receives largely negative reviews from publics around the world,” the report said.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the most trusted of the five leaders, with 46 percent of respondents saying they had confidence in her and 29 percent expressing no confidence, followed by French President Emmanuel Macron with 41 percent confidence.
