The capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro could be just the first step in an ambitious campaign as a new document lays out Trump’s playbook to remake the world order.
The National Security Strategy – published last month – spells out a large-scale plan to use America’s military dominance to exert control over the Western Hemisphere and beyond.
‘We will assert and enforce a “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine,’ the policy states.
‘The goal of this strategy is to tie together all of these world-leading assets, and others, to strengthen American power and preeminence and make our country even greater than it ever has been.’
Like the Monroe Doctrine, the so-called ‘Donroe Doctrine’ seeks favorable trade conditions by ensuring nearby nations are not ruled by adversaries. The doctrine is named for President James Monroe’s declaration in 1823.
But the early stages of Venezuela’s transition appeared to be in flux on Monday.
As Maduro faced drug trafficking charges in a Manhattan court, violence broke out on the streets of Caracas as the Venezuelan government was in complete disarray.
Trump said he was ultimately in charge of the South American country and claimed that US oil companies will be responsible for rebuilding their energy sector.
