Young people, take note: A new CGTN survey reveals global anxiety over the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Paris Climate Agreement. Over 7,452 respondents worldwide voiced fears that America's \"my way or the highway\" approach could derail progress on climate action and health crises.
Key Takeaways:
68.5% say the U.S. exit hurts global cooperation.
77.7% worry it sets a dangerous precedent for other nations.
81.4% call the move \"irresponsible\" amid partisan tensions.
Why It Matters:
The world's largest economy is ghosting critical global pacts while facing criticism for prioritizing self-interest over collective action. Respondents argue this could weaken America's influence—77.5% say it damages U.S. credibility, while 86.5% urge stronger international unity.
Think of it like a group project where one member quits last-minute . With geopolitical tensions rising, the poll highlights a growing demand for genuine cooperation to tackle climate change, pandemics, and more. Will the U.S. rejoin the chat?
