America’s Bold New “Donroe Doctrine”
If you could see the speed, the violence, they call it that… it was amazing, amazing work by these people. No one else could do something like this.

A Swift Victory in Venezuela
Donald Trump expressed his astonishment while monitoring the live feed of the U.S. special forces raid that removed Nicolás Maduro from the Venezuelan presidential palace and his position, along with his country, by U.S. special forces.

Venezuela Under American Control
Nicolás Maduro is currently held in a prison cell in Brooklyn, and the United States intends to “run” Venezuela. He has announced that the Chavista regime, now under a new president, will surrender millions of barrels of oil, and that the U.S. will control the distribution of the profits.

Trump’s Disruptive Reinterpretation of Foreign Policy
Since asserting that Donald Trump consistently fulfills his promises, former Senator Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have repeatedly emphasized this stance. Trump has issued stark warnings to nations like Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, and Denmark, signaling that he intends to aggressively pursue his objectives.

A Departure from Transatlantic Tradition
Notably, Truman disregarded warnings from Washington regarding permanent entangling alliances. Now, Trump threatens to seize Greenland, Danish sovereign territory, a move that could irreparably damage what remains of the transatlantic alliance.

The Legacy of George Washington’s Warnings
That began a tradition of isolationism, particularly in dealings with foreign nations. At home, George Washington cautioned citizens to guard against extreme partisanship, arguing that division posed a significant threat to the young American republic. The Senate continues an annual public re-reading of Washington’s farewell address, a ritual largely unaffected by the hyper-partisan and polarized politics of the United States.

A Strategic Shift in Global Alliances
Throughout US history, doctrines such as the Monroe Doctrine have shaped foreign policy, guiding the actions and legacies of presidents. In July, the United States will commemorate its 250th anniversary. In 1796, George Washington, the nation’s first president, delivered a farewell address that remains influential, advising the US to maintain neutrality and avoid permanent alliances, recognizing that temporary alliances during wartime might be essential.

The Truman Doctrine and the Birth of Containment
Recognizable for his frequent shifts in opinion, Trump asserts that the United States can exercise its power without consequence. He argues this approach is essential to achieving his goal of “making America great again.”

A Global Power Reckless in Pursuit of Dominance
Trump’s current approach represents a stark departure from the transatlantic relationship he is actively dismantling, a clear break with the legacy of Harry Truman.

The Erosion of International Norms
Of course, the United States has frequently disregarded and violated international law, contributing to the erosion of the concept of a rules-based international order. Nevertheless, Trump’s predecessors resisted attempts to completely dismantle this notion, a decision largely influenced by the devastating consequences of unchecked power demonstrated during the first half of the 20th century, specifically the two world wars and the immense loss of life they produced.
