The two-dimensional (2D) kinetic theory for a collisionless trapped electron mode is developed based on the Fourier-ballooning transform in an up-down symmetric equilibrium (illustrated via concentric circular magnetic surfaces). The system consists of two equations: the ballooning (integral) equation with a parameterized Floquet phase and a second order differential equation for the distribution of the Floquet phase. The coupled equations are, then, numerically solved as an eigenvalue problem yielding the 2D mode structure (in real space) as well as the global (phase-independent) eigenvalue for an L-mode parameter set. The 2D mode structure exhibits apparent radial-poloidal asymmetry; due to the poloidal coupling, the radial correlation length is found to be, at least, twice as large as the poloidal one. The global (phase-independent) eigenvalue of the mode differs considerably from the conventional local (phase-dependent) estimate. This paper shares many technical aspects with a published paper that works out the 2D kinetic theory for the ion temperature gradient mode [Xie et al., Phys.
