According to a poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, 33 percent support a US attack on Venezuela. Americans, 34 percent is against. The rest have no opinion. In terms of his domestic position, Donald Trump therefore gained little from an intervention that was a clear violation of international law. According to research by the same agencies, most Americans do not support potential US actions towards Greenland.
Why do Americans criticize Trump?
What are the data on support for intervention in Venezuela?
What internal problems are there in the US?
What are the latest approval ratings for Trump?
With a radical step in international politics, he failed to divert attention from domestic problems – and these are considerable. In the USA, not only prices are rising, but also unemployment – in November it amounted to 4.6%, reaching the highest value since 2021.
Moreover, with this probably illegal operation in Venezuela, the US president also exposed himself to further criminal proceedings in the future.
This, as well as other decisions of the Republican, translates into a decline in support for his government. In November 2025 Trump's popularity dropped to a new low of 36%.
