US EditionDonroe Doctrine and Venezuela: How Trump Revived the Monroe Doctrine ...
The policy aims to restore U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere, securing Venezuelan oil and deterring foreign powers, according to the 2025 national security strategy.
- The Trump administration formalised a new national security strategy that rebrands the Trump Corollary as the Donroe Doctrine, aiming to restore American pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere.
- Historically, the approach draws from James Monroe's 1823 doctrine warning European colonisation, echoes Theodore Roosevelt's 1904 Corollary on US police power, and departs from Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 Good Neighbour Policy.

- Strategically, the document warns external powers against hostile incursions, hints at targeting Colombia, Greenland and Mexico, and drew criticism from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for bypassing Congress.
