The article explores the concept of the 'Donroe' Doctrine, which combines the Monroe Doctrine declared by President James Monroe in 1823 and the Roosevelt Corollary introduced by Theodore Roosevelt in the early 20th century. The original Monroe Doctrine emphasized the protection of Latin America from European imperial powers, while the Roosevelt Corollary expanded on this idea by justifying American intervention in the region to maintain stability, thus creating a policy framework for U.S. actions in Latin America.

The Trump Administration has adopted this combined approach, using it to support its foreign policy in Latin America, particularly regarding Venezuela. This application of the 'Donroe' Doctrine indicates a continuation of the U.S. interventionist stance that has been evident throughout history in its relations with Latin American countries. Analysts note that while Monroe's doctrine aimed to prevent foreign intervention, the Roosevelt Corollary allowed for U.S. intervention under the guise of maintaining order, consequently altering the sovereignty dynamics in the region.

This evolution of U.S. foreign policy, as described in the article, raises important questions about the implications for national sovereignty in Latin America and the geopolitical balance of power. As the U.S. engages with Venezuela, understanding the historical context of these doctrines is essential to comprehending the underlying motivations and potential outcomes of current U.S. actions in the region.
