Mr Trump has faced a barrage of criticism from some world figures during campaigning.
Donald Trump’s campaign team has sought to allay negative views expressed overseas towards their candidate, a day before the US goes to the polls.
Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told the BBC such antipathy “doesn’t reflect why Donald Trump is running and who he would be on the global stage”.
She also attacked Hillary Clinton’s “unremarkable to chequered” record as secretary of state.
Both candidates are undertaking a blitz of campaigning in key states on Monday.
The latest opinion poll, on Fox News on Monday, gave Mrs Clinton a four-point lead, double that of Friday.
Mr Trump has faced a barrage of criticism from some world figures during campaigning. French President Francois Hollande said the businessman made people “want to retch”. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights described him as a danger internationally.
Speaking to the BBC’s Katty Kay, Ms Conway said negative attitudes overseas “does bother me” but defended Mr Trump’s “America First” stance.
Mr Trump “does say America First and he means it”, she said, spelling out the reasons – stopping the loss of American jobs overseas, making sure all partners, including Nato, pay their fair share and renegotiating trade deals that are bad for the US.
