The US National Security Strategy, released recently, described Trump’s vision as one of “flexible realism” and argued that the U.S. should revive the 19th-century Monroe Doctrine, which declared the Western Hemisphere to be Washington’s zone of influence.
About Monroe Doctrine:
The Monroe Doctrine, articulated by U.S. President James Monroe in 1823, is a significant S. foreign policy statement aimed at preventing European intervention in the Americas.
Primarily the work of Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, the Monroe Doctrine forbade European interference in the American hemisphere but also asserted U.S. neutrality in regard to future European conflicts.
The United States invoked the Monroe Doctrine to defend its increasingly imperialistic role in the Americas in the mid-19th century.
The doctrine has had lasting impacts on U.S. relations with its southern neighbors, reflecting America's desire to assert its influence while advocating for independence and self-determination in the region.
It was also a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy in the 19th century.
