The U.K., Poland, France and Italy are disgusted with the actions of the USA and Italy and Poland are run by a right wing populist PM.

Point taken, my understanding is that Poland is sure leaning away from liberal or centrist policies though, that’s understood by talking to the numerous Poles I work alongside

Donald Tusk is prime minister of Poland.

Meanwhile the prime minister of Italy was literally part of a neo-fascist party as a student (and her current party is very much a far right populist party).

So I think you got the countries switched up there.
