Survey Pinpoints Iraq, Bush as Main Reasons for US-EU Rift
A new poll has found that US-EU ties are unlikely to recover even after the election of a new American president next year. At the same time, most Europeans favor cooperation with the US in dealing with global threats. The results, published Thursday this week, point to two overarching reasons for continuing European skepticism towards America and its policies -- the Iraq war and President George W. Bush.
The survey conducted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States and four European foundations was based on more than 1,000 interviews conducted in 11 EU states, Turkey and the US in June this year.
