Across Europe, Latin America, and other regions, conservative and populist movements have made notable electoral gains, prompting debate over whether President Trump’s leadership has influenced this global trend. Supporters suggest his emphasis on national sovereignty, border enforcement, and economic independence helped shift international political momentum. Critics argue these movements are driven by local issues unrelated to U.S. leadership. The question remains whether Trump deserves credit—or whether global conservatism is rising on its own.
