A 200-Year-Old Ghost: President Trump’s Venezuela Monroe Doctrine Policy
Explore the historical roots and current impact of President Trump’s Venezuela Monroe Doctrine policy in 2026. A deep dive into the 1823 doctrine's role in modern geopolitics.
The handshake is gone; only the squeeze remains. President Trump's pressure campaign against Venezuela is reaching a boiling point. It's not just a modern standoff—it's the latest chapter in a long saga of U.S. intervention rooted in the 1823Monroe Doctrine.
Trump’s Venezuela Monroe Doctrine Policy in Action
According to Reuters, Washington's current strategy involves a mix of aggressive economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation. By reviving the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, Trump is signaling that the Western Hemisphere remains under U.S. influence, effectively warning external powers to stay out.
A Legacy of Success and Failure
Historical data shows that such interventions produce mixed results. While they've occasionally forced political shifts, they often leave behind a trail of economic instability. In Venezuela, the U.S. claims to be fighting for democracy. Conversely, critics argue the campaign exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, causing more harm to civilians than to the ruling elite.
