So the EU was behind Maduro?

 

The Monroe Doctrine is a foundational U.S. foreign policy principle articulated by President James Monroe in 1823.

Core Principles

It declares the Western Hemisphere off-limits to future European colonization or interference, viewing such actions as threats to U.S. security, while pledging U.S. non-interference in European affairs. The doctrine divides the world into separate spheres: the Americas for independent nations under U.S. oversight, and Europe for its own colonial holdings.

Historical Context

Announced amid Latin American independence movements from Spain, it countered potential recolonization by powers like France, Spain, and Russia. Drafted with input from Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, it rejected a joint U.S.-British statement to assert unilateral American influence.

Key Evolutions

Later interpretations expanded it: James K. Polk tied it to Manifest Destiny, Theodore Roosevelt's 1904 Corollary justified U.S. interventions as a "police power," and it influenced 20th-century actions like responses to Cuba. Recent discussions invoke a modern "Trump Corollary" for issues like migration and drug trafficking.
