Europeans consistently regard the US as the biggest threat to world stability, a new poll for the Financial Times reveals.

A survey carried out in June by Harris Research shows that 32 per cent of respondents in five European countries - Spain. France, Germany, Italy and the UK - regard the US as a bigger threat than any other state.

Inhabitants of Spain are most concerned about the US, with 46 per cent of respondents naming America as the biggest threat.

In the US itself, North Korea and Iran are seen as the biggest risks.

However, the youngest US respondents share the Europeans' view that theirs is the biggest threat, with 35 per cent of American 16- to 24-year-olds identifying it as the chief danger to stability.
