    I think internationally they always had a bad reputation, its just eu that holds them in high regard because of their contribution in ww2

      It’s actually more nuanced than that. US reputation varies wildly depending on the region - some parts of Asia like Japan and South Korea have historically viewed the US quite positively, while Latin America has generally had a more negative view due to decades of intervention. Global opinion polls show US reputation fluctuates dramatically based on which administration is in power to.

        US pop culture has been and even still is big in places. US government/country, probably not since the gold rush.

      Eh, I don’t think that has much hold anymore… After all it was a business decision, not a moral stance! I think its more about being a large trading…

      Wait, we did not concede anything? What are you on about? Being polite? Countries tend to be polite to other countries representatives!

          For one I don’t see the connection in any possible way! Both cases took places decades ago, long before Trump got into office and started demanding concessions. And in both cases the eu did nothing wrong? In both cases a us citizen did something terrible (at an order or not), but the US had jurisdiction over them both? And yes incredible amounts of corruption must have taken place in the US but again how is that the eus fault in any possible way?
