SadaNews - The results of a public opinion poll conducted in the United States show that 56 percent of respondents believe that President Donald Trump has "gone too far" in using the military to intervene in other countries.

The poll was conducted by the "Associated Press" in collaboration with the "NORC" Center for Public Affairs Research from January 8 to 11, involving 1,203 respondents, and included questions about Americans' views on their country's role in global issues.

According to the poll results, 35 percent of participants believe the level of American military intervention was "appropriate."

The percentage of participants who do not support Trump's handling of Venezuela reached 57 percent, while 61 percent disapprove of the overall approach taken by the American President in foreign policy.
