A new survey published by the Munich Security Conference reveals that Brazilians are among the most favorable towards Donald Trump's policies on a global scale, with around one in three expressing the belief that they are good for the world. However, the study, which surveyed public opinion across several major economies, also highlights a significant divide in Brazil, as at least half of the respondents do not view Trump’s policies as positive for either Brazil or the global landscape. This illustrates a complex relationship where some segments of the population view his policies favorably while others are critical.

Conducted in November 2025, prior to an escalation in U.S. immigration enforcement, the survey included participants from countries like Germany, Canada, the U.S., France, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Brazil among others. The findings are significant as they showcase differing perspectives on Trump's presidency across various nations, particularly in regions like Latin America where opinions can vary widely based on political and economic contexts. Despite the mixed feelings within Brazil, the report emphasizes that many respondents from the eleven countries surveyed generally disapprove of Trump's governance.

This study reflects broader sentiments that can impact international relations and the perception of American leadership abroad. Understanding how Brazil fits into this geopolitical landscape is crucial, especially as the country navigates its own political terrain and considers its alliances. The data suggests that Trump's policies have not universally resonated with the Brazilian populace, indicating potential challenges for U.S.-Brazil relations depending on future developments.
