The best — and worst — countries, according to a new U.S. News & World Report study.
On Wednesday, U.S. News & World Report released its 2020 list of the best countries, and one of the more depressing findings — at least for Americans — was this: “While the U.S. is perceived as the most powerful country in the world, data shows it is not perceived as very trustworthy,” U.S. News writes. Since 2016, when the first “best countries” report came out, “perceptions of the U.S. as being trustworthy have steadily dropped to a record-low of 16.3 on a 100-point scale.
But it’s not just about politics, Pew Research Center data suggests: “Large majorities say the U.S. doesn’t take the interests of other countries into account when making foreign policy decisions,” Pew reveals — which could impact how trustworthy people find America. Overall, Switzerland landed on the best country overall list, with U.S. News noting that “the county ranked among the top 10 countries in five of the 9 subrankings, including No. 2 in open for business and No. 7 for both citizenship and quality of life.” Canada scored the No. 2 slot and Japan No. 3.
