Continued thread

"When asked about the ability to "provide leadership to maintain the rules-based order and uphold international law," some 19.3% picked the EU in 2025 — a notable improvement from 16% last year [which was down due to Gaza]. Even so, the EU is trailing behind the US with 26.5% and the ASEAN itself with 23.1% of support.

It handsomely beats China, which only garnered 11.2% of votes. Worth noting: the survey was completed before the latest trade war escalations from the US." #asean

🔸 Global markets up, but US futures and oil prices decline.
