US EditionHow right-wing media inspired Trump’s ‘Donroe Doctrine’
Trump uses the phrase coined by right-wing media to justify U.S. dominance and interventions in the Western Hemisphere, citing economic interests like oil, officials said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump first used the term 'Donroe Doctrine' at a Saturday press conference, claiming he had superseded the Monroe Doctrine, then repeated it Sunday night on Air Force One while defending Venezuela actions.
- Right‑wing outlets first circulated the phrase after the New York Post ran it on its January 8, 2025 cover, and Griff Jenkins mentioned it on Fox & Friends Friday.
- Inside the Post newsroom, editors discussed coverage as Keith Poole said 'all our headlines are a collective effort,' while the front page mixed the coinage with tabloid items like renaming the Gulf of Mexico.
- The new corollary asserts a right to enter countries whose internal troubles threaten the region, framing intervention as justified, and operations such as the Maduro takedown are bound to generate controversy, regional critics warn.
- Historically, the Monroe Doctrine warned European powers to respect the U.S. sphere, while the U.S. National Security Strategy defines 'American preeminence' in the Western Hemisphere, and analysts urging restraint call for minimal intervention to let Venezuelan voters' will stand.
