Abstract

Key findings of the Transatlantic Trends Survey conducted by TNS in 2006 show that large majorities of Americans and Europeans agree on the importance of global threats, especially those becoming from Islamic fundamentalism. Citizens on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean also agree that efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons should continue, and reject military action as the best option to achieve this. Most Americans and Europeans perceive free trade positively and believe it can pull nations out of poverty, although there are concerns about the impacts of opening markets. Americans and Europeans are interested in finding solutions to international problems, being the fight against terrorism and poverty good examples of this concern.
