Trump Revives Monroe Doctrine with a Twist: "Donroe Doctrine" Reshapes US Foreign Policy

• US President Donald Trump coined the term "Donroe Doctrine" to justify Washington's actions against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
• The original Monroe Doctrine, articulated in 1823 by James Monroe, declared the Western Hemisphere closed to European colonization and interference.
• Over time, the doctrine evolved into a justification for US intervention in Latin America, notably with the Roosevelt Corollary in 1904.
• Secretary of State John Kerry declared the "era of the Monroe Doctrine is over" in 2013, but Trump's administration has revived it.
• Trump's "Donroe Doctrine" aims to block "non-Hemispheric competitors" like China from gaining influence in Latin America, asserting American dominance.

Why It Matters: Trump has revived and personalized the 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine, asserting US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
