TERMINOLOGICAL ISSUES THAT MAY IMPACT THE GLOBAL ANALYSIS ON IMMIGRATION: REFLECTIONS ON THE UNITED STATES

On April15 ,the Pew Research Center published a study that points to a strong approval of the United States President Joseph R. Biden Jr., within his nearly 100 days at the helm of the White House command. To illustrate, 2% is the difference between Joe Biden and Barack Obama, on the occasion of his first term (2009–2012). In the survey, focused on the first 100 days of the presidential terms, Biden appears with 59% approval whereas Obama, in 2009, reached 61%. (1) It is important to highlight that in the United States it is common to use the first 100 days of the President of the Republic’s term as an indication of what will be a priority for that country’s government and which paths will be taken to deal with these priorities. Considering the fact that the United States continues to occupy the place of the main economic, political, and military power of the international system and the shift promoted by the management of Joe Biden vis-à-vis his predecessor, Donald Trump, it is important to reflect on the conduct of the foreign policy of the United States, with emphasis on the possible impacts on the course of the global agenda and on the behavior of actors more sensitive to North American choices.
