Trump, Netanyahu greater threats to world peace, Spaniards believe - poll

Spanish citizens see US President Donald Trump as the world leader who presents the greatest threat to world peace, followed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a poll published by Spanish news outlet El País.

Notably, both Trump and Netanyahu ranked as more significant threats to world peace than Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

Asked to name the leader who most endangers world peace, 81% of respondents indicated that Trump is a significant danger, followed by 79.2% for Putin and 71.2% for Netanyahu.

Iran's Khamenei came next with a rating of 62.9%, followed by Kim Jong-Un with 62.25, and Xi Jinping with 49.3%.

The El País report noted that survey participants who identified with right-wing and far-Right parties - such as El Partido Popular (The People's Party) and Vox- were more likely to identify Vladimir Putin as the biggest threat above Trump and Netanyahu.

Beyond just ranking world leaders by how much they threaten world peace, the El País poll asked survey participants a series of questions about the current geopolitical situation.
