'Goodness gracious!' Trump warned 'chickens coming home to roost' as top allies jump ship

President Donald Trump has alienated the rest of the world, according to new polling data, and an analyst said "those chickens are coming home to roost" now that the U.S. needs allies.

The 79-year-old president authorized joint U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran, which responded by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz and choking off the global oil supply, and Trump has been unable to pressure any nations to help reopen the crucial waterway.

"It's really simple: The people in those countries hate, hate, hate the U.S. military action in Iran," said CNN's Harry Enten. "What are we talking about here? Okay, net approval rating, U.S. military action in Iran, in Canada, way underwater, minus-27 points. You think that's low? Take a look here in Japan, minus-73 points – my goodness gracious. Way, way, way, way down there. How about in the UK? We're talking about 34 points underwater, key U.S. allies, the people in those countries absolutely despise the U.S. military action in Iran. No wonder the leaders in those countries are, let's just say, a little apprehensive about helping out the U.S."

Trump's war in Iran has even less international support than George W. Bush's war in Iraq two decades ago, according to Enten.

"These numbers are quite low," Enten said. "They weren't always this low when it came to U.S. military action in the Middle East, because take a look at this situation, okay? Shift in net approval rating, U.S. military action around now versus in Iraq in 2003. In Canada, way down, we're talking down, get this, 27 points. How about in Japan? Down, way down there, down 45 points. How about in the UK, and of course, there was UK involvement in that particular war. Look at that, down 48 points. So what we're seeing is a massive, massive shift when it comes to how the people, our allies, people in those countries are viewing the U.S. military action in the Middle East – far less popular this time around. No wonder the leaders in those countries want pretty much absolutely nothing to do with this conflict, because they know there are big electoral consequences if they do, and not good electoral consequence."

International approval of the U.S. has dropped dramatically since Trump's re-election, Enten said.

"You see these shifts down in terms of how our allies are, folks in those countries view U.S. military action in the Middle East, you see how unpopular it is this time around," he said. "Canada, Japan, the UK, and this is just part of a larger picture. A larger picture favorable view of the U.S. in 2025 versus 2024. Of course, Donald Trump being the president in 2025, Joe Biden being the president [of the] United States in 2024. Look at this, favorable view of the U.S.., down 79 percent of 24 countries, residents asked."

"The bottom line is this: The folks overseas are far less likely to view the U.S. favorably, and those chickens are coming home to roost in this situation, as there's very little support abroad for the U.S. military action in Iran," Enten added.
