Trump Administration Asserts American Primacy Through Military Force
The Trump administration has explicitly revived the Monroe Doctrine as a guiding principle of American foreign policy, with a focus on asserting US influence in the Western Hemisphere. Through military operations and diplomatic efforts, the US is seeking to deny foreign rivals access to the region and advance its own interests. Recent developments include the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the signing of the Greenland Security Deal. This shift in US foreign policy was first reported by Beyond Politics.
