Matt Grudnoff examines changing Australian perspectives on global security, including Trump, AUKUS, and independent foreign policy
A new poll has revealed a major shift in Australian public opinion, with more than half of Australians now viewing Donald Trump’s United States as a greater threat to global security than both Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Xi Jinping’s China.
The findings signal a dramatic reassessment of America’s global role under Trump’s leadership.
The data also points to growing support for a more independent Australian foreign policy, with many respondents questioning long standing alliances and calling for a rethink of strategic priorities in an increasingly unstable geopolitical landscape.
Matt Grudnoff from the Australia Institute joins the discussion to unpack what is driving this shift in sentiment, including how perceptions of Trump compare with other global leaders and how these views have evolved over time.
