Post-Venezuela’s capture, 7 countries tremble, fearing for their independence and their reserves

Trump’s foreign policy is now openly borrowing from the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, re-packaged as the “Donroe Doctrine” — a doctrine that signals Washington’s intent to dominate the Western Hemisphere not only militarily, but commercially. With Nicolás Maduro dragged out of Caracas, this rebranding...
