Trump, Venezuela and the doctrine that wouldn’t die

The revival of the Monroe Doctrine suggests a strategic pivot in U.S. foreign policy, reflecting a desire to reassert influence in Latin America amidst rising geopolitical tensions. This doctrine, originally aimed at preventing European interference, now raises questions about the U.S.'s role and responsibilities in a changing global landscape. The implications of this renewed focus on assertive policies could lead to increased tensions with countries like Venezuela, highlighting the delicate balance of power in the region.
