Explanation:

The Soviet ambassador describes the US foreign policy as a "striving for world supremacy." This negative view indicates a lack of trust. Support and acceptance would imply a positive stance, which is not the case here. Indifference would mean no strong feeling either way, but the ambassador clearly has a strong (negative) opinion.

Answer:

distrust
