Daily Mail: The world’s most corrupt countries revealed: Somalia is named as the worst, with Denmark considered the fairest… while experts warn the US is ‘one to watch’
* Experts believe Trump is a symptom of broader problems with democracy in US
* Somalia topped the list for corruption, followed by Syria and South Sudan
* Denmark was the 'cleanest' nation, while Britain came eleventh with Germany
* Hungary received its worst post-Soviet rating with populism blamed for a shift
Somalia is the most corrupt country in the world, Denmark the least, while America's falling score is a 'red flag', according to a global corruption watchdog.
Transparency International highlighted Hungary and the United States in their Corruption Perceptions Index for 2018, with America being knocked from the top 20 'cleanest' list.
Trump's America lost four points and dropped out of the top 20 least corrupt nations for the first time since 2011, while Hungary's politics has taken on more autocratic overtones, according to the researchers.
