U.S. Department of State reaffirms Monroe Doctrine and regional dominance
The U.S. Department of State has released a video reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine, asserting that American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will “never again be questioned.” The five-minute video, shared on social media, provides a historical overview of the doctrine established in 1823 by President James Monroe, which originally aimed to prevent European colonization in the Americas.
The publication connects this historical principle to current U.S. foreign policy and the National Security Strategy under the Trump administration. It frames the recent capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3 as a modern application of this doctrine, intended to send a “strong signal to the entire hemisphere.”
The video also references past instances where the doctrine shaped regional policy, such as the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and the Reagan administration's actions in Latin America. The current strategic focus includes preventing non-hemispheric powers from expanding their influence or controlling strategic assets within the region, while also addressing transnational issues like drug trafficking and irregular immigration.
