How the Monroe Doctrine factors into US arrest of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro

The Trump administration seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on narco-terrorism charges, marking a shift toward aggressive U.S. hemispheric dominance under the new 'Trump Corollary.'

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump referenced the Monroe Doctrine during a Mar-a-Lago event while detailing U.S. military action that led to Nicolás Maduro's arrest.
  • Articulated in 1823, the Monroe Doctrine aimed to oppose European meddling and ward off colonization in the Western Hemisphere and has been repeatedly invoked to justify U.S. interventions in Latin America.
  • The White House national security strategy labeled a `Trump Corollary` to restore American preeminence and outlined military measures to combat narcotics and control migration.
  • Officials described the move as reasserting American power in the hemisphere; the Trump administration said it would `run` Venezuela until a replacement for Nicolás Maduro was found, while the White House national security strategy portrayed European allies as weak.
  • Historians note Venezuela has historically triggered Monroe corollaries, with Jay Sexton saying the Maduro capture could split Trump supporters as past strikes did.
