U.S.–Germany Relations

A joint Pew Research Center–Körber-Stiftung survey released Nov. 24, 2025 finds German views of the U.S.–Germany relationship have turned sharply negative since last year, while 71% of Americans still call ties good, down 13 points. The polls, fielded Sept. 15–26 (Germany) and Sept. 19–26 (U.S.), also show Germans now rank France (46%) over the U.S. (26%) as their most important partner, and diverging security perceptions: Americans see both China and Russia as major military threats, while Germans mainly cite Russia.
