Deutsche Welle wrote on January 6: After the incident in Venezuela, Trump openly stated that the US would take further action in its "backyard." This is a re-interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine, which was born more than 200 years ago, and it is a strategic upgrade.
Since the capture of Maduro, the Trump administration has been more explicit about how the US will deploy in regions such as Latin America and surrounding areas. During the transition of the Venezuelan government, the US will "manage" the country until there is a rebuilt security and judicial order, leading it toward the development path that Washington hopes for. All of this is to restore American dominance in the Americas. This concept is clearly defined in the new version of the US National Security Strategy. The document states on page 15: "After years of neglect, the US will reaffirm and implement the Monroe Doctrine to restore its dominant position in the Western Hemisphere."
The Monroe Doctrine to the "Donroe Doctrine"
The Monroe Doctrine was created more than 200 years ago, named after President James Monroe, and its most fundamental principle is that the emerging power, the United States, views the Americas as its own sphere of influence, not allowing old European colonial powers to interfere with Latin American affairs.
Now, under new circumstances, the media has added Trump's name, calling the US's new foreign policy the "Donroe Doctrine," and Trump, who dreams of occupying a place in history, has already used this term. The "Donroe Doctrine" means that the US will no longer allow sovereign countries in the Americas to independently decide with which countries and companies they develop relationships and cooperate, and this is not limited to European countries and enterprises.
In the section on the Western Hemisphere in the US National Security Strategy, there is a sentence at the end: "We should do everything we can to drive out foreign companies that carry out infrastructure projects in the region." The interpretation of this sentence is that construction companies from Europe and Asia operating in Latin America will become targets of the "Donroe Doctrine."
"The Western Hemisphere is where we live, and we will not allow the Western Hemisphere to become a base for American adversaries, competitors, and opponents." This is the latest statement by US Secretary of State Rubio on America's foreign strategy.
