A new survey shows that trust in the European Union is at its highest level since 2007, with more than half of Europeans (52%) saying they trust the EU.
Young people, aged 15 to 24, are even more supportive, with 59% expressing trust. In contrast, only 36% of people say they trust their own national governments.
The survey, conducted across all 27 EU countries between late March and April, comes at a time of rising tension between the EU and the United States. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump postponed a decision to impose major tariffs on EU goods, giving both sides more time to negotiate.
Support for the euro is also at a record high—74% of Europeans support the single currency, and that number rises to 83% in countries that use the euro. Still, people are split on how the EU economy is doing: 44% think it's in good shape, but 48% disagree. However, most believe things will stay the same over the next year.
The survey also found overwhelming support (81%) for a shared EU policy on security and defense. This comes just after the EU approved a massive €150 billion defense fund, driven by fears of a potential Russian threat and uncertainty about long-term U.S. support.
Backing for Ukraine also remains strong. About 77% of respondents see Russia’s invasion as a threat to Europe’s security, and 72% support the EU’s economic sanctions against Moscow.
Overall, the report shows that many Europeans are rallying behind the EU, especially in times of global uncertainty.
