PBS NewsHour reported that, behind closed diplomatic doors, some of the United States' closest allies regard Donald Trump's America as an "unreliable boyfriend," describe it as a security threat, and consider it open to corruption. The report summarizes a Compass Points segment that PBS NewsHour published with Nick Schifrin listed as author.

PBS NewsHour's summary said a Canadian official warned that the world's disappointment with the United States will have long-lasting consequences. The summary does not name the official or say where or when the warning was made.

PBS NewsHour reported that Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses these views in the segment with Chrystia Freeland, former deputy prime minister of Canada. The summary does not state whether Freeland is the official who issued the warning.

The segment's headline asks why some allies hold this view, according to PBS NewsHour. The summary does not identify which allies are involved or give specific examples of the conduct behind the assessments described in the discussion.
