"A leader with global experience, he spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and most recently led a powerful Vatican office for bishop appointments. He is expected to build on Pope Francis reforms."
"He worked for a decade in Trujillo, Peru, and was later appointed bishop of Chiclayo, another Peruvian city, where he served from 2014 to 2023. Prevost also holds a Peruvian passport and has been a Peruvian citizen since 2015."
"In an interview with Vatican News shortly after he became the leader of the Dicastery for Bishops, Prevost said: 'I still consider myself a missionary. My vocation, like that of every Christian, is to be a missionary, to proclaim the Gospel wherever one is.'"

I see the new Pope as someone who could directly confront Trump.

That type of thing could get him thrown into a prison in El Salvador should he try to enter the US.
