A pandemia do COVID-19 afetou o mundo inesperada e dramaticamente, de modo que, apesar do início da vacinação em muitos países, ainda é incerto o quanto medidas de contenção do vírus serão demandadas. Destarte, a atuação estatal é crucial, eis que muitas atividades, como o comércio, foram impactadas, afetando os Estados nos níveis doméstico e internacional. Logo, é preciso analisar como os chefes de Estado têm lidado com a pandemia e seus impactos, sendo pertinente analisar como o ex-presidente estadunidense Donald Trump lidou com a pandemia, visto que os Estados Unidos da América podem ser considerados um dos países de maior impacto global, influenciando demasiadamente o Sistema Internacional. Objetiva-se, pois, analisar se houve uma tentativa de securitização do COVID-19 pelo ex-presidente estadunidense Donald Trump. O marco teórico é a Escola de Copenhagen, pela qual a securitização ocorre quando se coloca uma temática como ameaça existencial a um objeto de referência, criando uma situação de emergência e justificando medidas extremas. A metodologia empregada é a análise de conteúdo dos discursos de Trump, eis que permitem analisar eventuais tentativas de securitização.
