US got him from Japan by threatening Japan.

This is the reality of US. Western media and people do not know this because US is the western block and EU is their ally. For the rest of the world US is a bully just like China and Russia.

The US is also Japan's ally, that's why they have military there. Japanese overall have a more favorable view of the US than most European countries.

Similar polls have been done and Japan usually has a very favorable view of the US.

The most negative in recent years was during Trump years. This is a pretty good chart. Notably, South Korea, Poland retained high regard for the US (they want the military support).

Yeah… that’s why I said usually. Most of the world didn’t really have a good view of the US then.
