Trump coins ‘Don-roe Doctrine’ as he explains Venezuela operation
Elite U.S. Delta Force executed a covert nighttime raid to capture Maduro and his wife, citing narco-terrorism; operation involved 150 aircraft and personnel, officials said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump rebranded the Monroe Doctrine as the Donroe Doctrine at Mar-a-Lago after Nicolás Maduro's capture, presenting it as an updated policy under his administration.
- The administration says the strategy authorizes U.S. intervention in Latin America to seize assets, fight crime and end migration, with Trump alleging Maduro threatened U.S. interests and violated centuries-old principles.
- Experts noted Trump did not provide evidence for his claim that weapons linked to cartels were used, while Gray said, 'I think it's very clear that there will no longer be a level of tolerance for the type of even lower-level Chinese, Russian and Iranian influence that we've seen over the last couple of decades.'
- The action risks straining alliances as the United States signals it will impose its will regionally, raising stakes over Venezuela's oil reserves and China’s partnership.
- The move follows recent Chinese military exercises simulating a Taiwan blockade and Trump naming an envoy aiming to seize Greenland and threaten the Panama Canal.
