How Do Latin Americans View President Trump?

Latin America has been a priority in President Donald Trump’s first months in office. Several high-level officials have made trips to the region, as the administration signs bilateral migration accords, publicizes deportation flights, and installs trade policy that can affect Latin American products. And with Trump’s plans to implement global reciprocal tariffs on April 2, the new U.S. administration’s impact on the region is set to grow.

Leaders in the region have taken different approaches to responding to the U.S. president’s actions. How are Latin Americans perceiving their leaders’ reactions to Trump? And how do they generally view the U.S. president, whose domestic approval stands at 50 percent, according to an aggregator by The Economist? AS/COA Online tracks perceptions based on available data from across the region, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico.
