US foreign policy regarding Latin American countries in 1823
POPULARITY
Beijing and Washington have been locked in a costly trade war for six months. In South Korea on Thursday, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping called a truce and pledged to work more closely together in the future. Also: today's stories, including how building more units could help Califonia's affordability gap in housing, how the Trump administration's pursuit of a "new economic Monroe Doctrine" is raising suspicions in Argentina, and why the World Series holds extra meaning for Toronto and Canada. Join the Monitor's Linda Feldmann for today's news.
Two centuries after it was first declared, the Monroe Doctrine is alive and dangerous. In this episode, CODEPINK Radio unpacks how the U.S. still uses this colonial relic to justify economic domination, coups, and military buildup across Latin America. Historian Steve Ellner joins us to trace the Doctrine's evolution from 1823 to today's hybrid wars. Then, Venezuelan voices on the ground reveal how “Monroe Doctrine 2.0” threatens their sovereignty as the U.S. escalates military operations in the Caribbean.
Tara breaks down the latest high-stakes developments in Venezuela, where Senator Lindsey Graham warns that President Nicolás Maduro may face strikes and a potential regime change. The episode examines Trump's robust Monroe Doctrine approach, the role of U.S. carrier strike groups, and Venezuelan public opinion, which overwhelmingly favors U.S. intervention. Tara also exposes Democratic complicity, linking Biden administration actions and FBI involvement to the movement of gangs and drug networks into the U.S., highlighting the broader hemispheric strategy to protect American lives from drug trafficking.

(02:12) In aanloop naar de verkiezingen zijn er eindeloos veel debatten, televisiespotjes en interviews met lijsttrekkers. Maar wie in de jaren '50, '60 en '70 in campagnetijd televisie keek, zag iets heel anders.

The Donald Trump administration seeks to forcibly impose the US empire's hegemony in Latin America, waging war on Venezuela, imposing sanctions on Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, hitting Brazil with tariffs, and meddling in Argentina's election. Ben Norton explains how Trump and Marco Rubio are trying to cut off all western hemisphere ties with China and Russia, bringing back the colonial Monroe Doctrine, now known as the Donroe Doctrine.

Darrell Castle talks about the military actions taken by president Trump against the nation of Venezuela as well as some other South American and Latin American nations. Is stopping drug trafficking and importation of narcotics into the United States all there is to it? Transcription / Notes A NEW MONROE DOCTRINE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 24th day of October in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the military actions taken by President Trump against the nation of Venezuela as well as some other South and Latin American nations. I argue that there is more involved in these actions than an effort to stop drug trafficking and also assert that countering the import of narcotics into the United States is at best a side benefit of the action against those countries. The original Monroe Doctrine has been the policy of the United States for a little over 200 years, but it has been more or less abandoned in recent years. Is Donald Trump trying to reassert that doctrine with his military efforts in the Western Hemisphere, I think he is and I will make my case today. First, let's look at the Monroe Doctrine and what it was originally intended to be. It was first formulated or at least spoken of by President James Monroe in 1823 during his state of the union address to congress. He laid out before congress a foreign policy position that opposed European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. Essentially, he just told the Europeans, and at the time Spain was the primary nation, that we will leave you alone in Europe and not interfere in your affairs and in return this hemisphere is off limits to you. Intervention in the affairs of nations in this hemisphere by foreign powers would potentially be treated as a hostile act against the United States. This doctrine was the grand foreign policy strategy during the 19th century. The Spanish American War at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th was the capstone or high-water mark of that policy when the United States removed Spain from its last two remaining colonies in this hemisphere. The 20th century brought with it two world wars and an America victorious and willing to intervene anywhere and at anytime it wanted to. Instead of non-intervention in European affairs the U.S. now has in the neighborhood of 750 military bases on foreign soil all over the world. The doctrine has been argued about and debated since the Spanish American War, but now everything is different and far more dangerous because of nuclear weapons and the reality that one mistake by one psychopathic leader could unleash a worldwide catastrophe. We also have a new war called the war on drugs that has been raging since President Nixon proclaimed it in the early 1970's. That war has been fought, lost and fought again since then by almost every president since Nixon. Every president at least pays lip service to stopping the scourge of drugs coming into the United States. It seems that each time one drug is somewhat controlled a new, even worse one takes its place. Cocaine, fentanyl, and other synthetic opioids for example. Unlike other presidents Trump seems to be approaching the problem as an actual war rather than using war as a turn of phrase. He has stated that the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels he has designated as terrorist organizations. The Trump administration delivered that notice to congress after a strike on an alleged drug boat from Venezuela. There have been several strikes since then all against supposed drug boats. The scene is usually a high-speed boat carrying several people speeding across the Caribbean when a drone unleashes a hellfire missile and the boat and all its contents disappears. Designating a group as a terrorist organization is more than just saying we don't like those people. It deprives that group of many of the niceties of American law such as due ...
In recent weeks, tensions between the US and Venezuela have been growing. Several US military strikes have targeted boats in the Caribbean allegedly carrying illicit drugs, and US President Donald Trump has said that he has authorized the CIA to use lethal force in Venezuela. And the issue doesn't end there, now there is wider involvement from Europe and elsewhere. GPF Chairman George Friedman joined host Christian Smith on this episode of Talking Geopolitics to dive into what's really going on, how it ties into the Monroe Doctrine - the policy relating to affairs in the Western Hemisphere - and what Russia's role in all of it is.

What it means that the Department of War just revoked the press credentials for more than 100 media outlets. Why the China trade crisis is a self-imposed Cuban Missile Crisis that could nuke the global economy (China has predictable control of critical minerals).

The Trump administration is seeking regime change in Venezuela as top officials accuse that country's president, Nicolás Maduro, of helming an international drug cartel. President Trump boasts about blowing up the boats of alleged Venezuelan drug runners in the Caribbean, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly shaping an aggressive strategy to oust Maduro. This does not square with the administration's supposed isolationism, but the U.S. has never been isolationist when it comes to the Western Hemisphere. In this episode, historian Alexander Aviña traces the long, violent pattern of American interventionism in Latin America. Coincidentally, Theodore Roosevelt announced his corollary to the Monroe Doctrine after an international incident involving Venezuela in 1902.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Center for Public Schools' Alisha Searcy interview Randall Woods, John A. Cooper Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Arkansas, and author of John Quincy Adams: A Man for the Whole People. Prof. Woods shares the life and career of American statesman John Quincy Adams, the “first son of the Republic,” whose upbringing in the household of John and Abigail Adams shaped his lifelong devotion to public service. He reflects on Adams's early diplomatic triumphs, including the Treaty of Ghent and the Monroe Doctrine, as well as the 1824 election that resulted in him becoming the sixth U.S. President. Prof. Woods describes the highlights of Adams's congressional career—his leadership in overturning the “gag rule” on antislavery petitions and his powerful U.S. Supreme Court defense of the Amistad Africans' revolt at sea — before turning to the significance of his voluminous diaries in guiding future generations of the Adams family and American public servants. Woods concludes the interview by reading a favorite passage from his biography, John Quincy Adams: A Man for the Whole People.

#0201 The Most Monroe Trump and The Monroe Doctrine - Further. Every. Day
Tune in here to this Friday edition of The Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for the long-awaited Friday Hangover! They discuss escalating global tensions, narco-terrorism, and what they see as the revival of the Monroe Doctrine under President Trump. The conversation kicks off with bold claims about Trump targeting cartels and quickly evolves into a spirited back-and-forth on U.S. foreign policy, Venezuela, China, and the potential for a new world war—jokingly dubbed "World War Five." Brett and Pete also dive into the idea of America reasserting control in the Western Hemisphere, while throwing in humor, historical references, and media commentary. There’s even a brief debate over Marco Rubio’s political evolution and breakdancing potential. We're joined by Phil Kerpen from American Commitment to talk about the state of the U.S. economy and the growing instability within the Federal Reserve. Kerpen breaks down the latest jobs report, calling it weak and riddled with major downward revisions that undermine confidence in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He highlights declining federal employment and the upcoming removal of deferred-resignation employees as economic positives. Kerpen also slams the Fed under Jerome Powell, citing lavish spending, internal dysfunction, and chronic failure to meet inflation targets. Looking ahead, he predicts a likely rate cut, though warns that without federal spending cuts, long-term interest rates like mortgages won’t fall. The conversation ends with a sharp take on AI’s impact on entry-level tech jobs and advice for young people to pursue trades that are less vulnerable to automation.

In this episode, we delve into the historical and contemporary implications of the Monroe Doctrine and U.S. intervention in Latin America. Host Jack Eidt mixes excerpts from Rubén Darío's poetry (Nicaragua) and Gabriel García Márquez's fiction (Colombia) with an interview of Yale historian Greg Grandin by journalist Michael Fox. They explore how Simon Bolivar's legacy and the Monroe Doctrine have shaped U.S. imperialism in Central and South America.

Latin America is the key focal point for the United States in its global competition with China. President Donald Trump has made it clear that he deems China's growing presence in the Western Hemisphere a direct threat to U.S. interests in the region. This puts most countries in Central and South America in a tight spot, given that many states in this region count China as their largest trading partner and the U.S. as their largest source of investment. Parsifal D'Sola Alvarado, a longtime China analyst and executive director of the Andrés Bello Foundation's China Latin America Research Center, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the divergent strategies some countries are taking to align themselves with one or both of the major powers.

In our latest episode we speak with the author and academic Frank Gerits, whose most recent work explores the history of the intense ideological battle which took place in the 1950s and 1960s for African hearts and minds. His book, The Ideological Scramble for Africa, explores how this competition wasn't just between Cold War superpowers, but among African leaders themselves who were projecting competing visions of what African modernity should look like. In this conversation with Robert Amsterdam, Dr. Gerits gives an informed portrait of key figures such as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, whose revolutionary call for immediate continental unity challenged both colonial powers and fellow African leaders. While leaders like Senegal's Senghor favored maintaining ties with Europe and others promoted regional federations, Nkrumah demanded complete independence and a "Monroe Doctrine for Africa" that would keep the continent out of global power struggles entirely. Gerits discussess his views on the fascinating psychological dimension of decolonization, showing how Western powers promoted "modernization" programs designed to psychologically transform Africans, while leaders like Nkrumah and intellectuals like Frantz Fanon fought to reclaim African cultural identity. The louder Africans demanded independence, the more Western powers interpreted this as evidence they needed more assistance—a dynamic that continues today. Be sure to explore our library of past podcast episodes, which include more than a dozen recent books on Africa.

Many celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Mexican food and festivities (you can count me in on that!) But few realize the difficult backstory endured by the people of Mexico—who found themselves captive to the French at the same time as the American Civil War! So, I bring you an audiobook narration from The Mystery of History Volume IV with a lesson titled, “The French Rule of Mexico under Maximillien and Carlota.” This story offers love, mystery, colonization, the Monroe Doctrine, and of course the Mexican victory in the muddy city of Puebla on “Cinco de Mayo.” This lesson is rated G for all ages, but for length and detail it is best suited for students about 5th grade and up.
Raymond Jonas, Jon Bridgman Endowed Professor in History at the University of Washington and author of Habsburgs on the Rio Grande: The Rise and Fall of the Second Mexican Empire, joins the show to discuss a failed-but-spectacular 19th Century attempt by European powers to undermine the Monroe Doctrine. ▪️ Times • 01:42 Introduction • 03:31 Transatlantic relations • 05:20 Europe distracted • 08:39 Secession and unrest • 12:46 Maximillian I • 17:55 Continental powers • 20:01 Britain, France and Spain • 26:13 What the Americans did right • 28:23 Napoleon III • 30:09 Mexico and the Confederacy • 35:20 Slavery adjacent • 38:46 What went wrong • 42:07 Benito Juarez • 44:33 Maximillian's execution • 46:20 European alarm Follow along on Instagram, X @schoolofwarpod, and YouTube @SchoolofWarPodcast Find a transcript of today's episode on our School of War Substack
The National Security Hour with Col. John Mills Ret. – America is reversing decades of hemispheric neglect under the Trump Doctrine.

In 2025, the United States experienced a rarity... a nonconsecutive U.S. President took office and the nation was shook by just how nonconsecutive it was after more than 100 years of unmitigated consecutiveness. But, this wasn't the first time a President failed to continue being President only to unfail that same continuation four years later. On this episode, we explore the First Nonconsecutive U.S. Presidency and delve into a man far less Muppety than his name. Oh, and we defy gravity in the MouthGarf Report, and play another charming round of I See What You Did There.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Clevelandhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/grover-cleveland/https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/11/rooks-non-consecutive-presidents-couldnt-be-more-different/77580670007/https://reason.com/2025/01/10/we-could-use-a-man-like-grover-cleveland-again/Please give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts!

Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 and doubled the size of the United States. This set America on its expansion, known as Manifest Destiny, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This episode explores the history of colonization of North America, how the U.S. expanded, why Napoleon sold Louisiana, the Lewis and Clark expedition, and what would have happened if the Louisiana Purchase did not occur.
In this installment, Dan and Jordan try to make sense of Alex celebrating the ideas of a return to the Monroe Doctrine, a rise of American empire, and the creation of a "prison planet" in El Salvador.
What Tupac predicted about the defense budget. Pete Hegseth unveils Trump's imperialist peace plan for Ukraine. The Monroe Doctrine means mercenary imperialism.

We begin today with some domestic politics and the concern that RINOs continue to destroy red states while wrapping themselves in Trump's name. People close to Trump who claim to share the values of the base need a strategy to shut this down. Next, we're joined by our foremost Latin American affairs expert, Joseph Humire, for a riveting discussion on why we need to rebuild the Monroe Doctrine. Humire explains the geopolitical situation, how China and Russia are taking over critical areas of Latin America, and how we could easily combat their influence. We need not treat Latin America like the Middle East and engage in nation-building. He offers some ideas on how to use a carrot-and-stick approach to assert our national interests — all built upon creating a security perimeter. He also discusses the future of the cartels, the threat of Venezuela, and the diplomatic strategy behind the Panama Canal spat with the Panamanian leader. Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump says he wants the United States to control the Panama Canal and other regions and waterways that he says are crucial to America's national security interests.“The question we would have to have with Panama is: Do you truly, verifiably know everything that China is doing in regards to your canal for national security concerns? And unless they could give us an answer of ‘100%, we do,' I think that we're going to have to have more transparency on that. And I think that's where the conversation is at today,” says Joseph Humire. He is an expert on Latin America, specializing, in foreign policy, national security, and asymmetric warfare.“Worst case scenario for the United States would be that [China] would find a way to disrupt the Panama Canal so that the United States no longer has rapid reaction capabilities to be able to move from the Atlantic into the Pacific,” he says.In this episode, Humire breaks down the context of Trump's recent comments and explains how vulnerable the United States is to increasing Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence in the region.“The United States has not had a grand strategy for the Western Hemisphere arguably in 100 years—arguably since the Monroe Doctrine,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
Cuba and Venezuela are in the crosshairs of the new Trump administration, and Trump has already put Cuba back on the heavily sanctioned state sponsor of terrorism list without reason. With declarations of a “Monroe Doctrine 2.0” and threats to seize the Panama Canal, the sovereignty of all of Latin America is at stake. Brian is joined by Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of The People's Forum in New York, to discuss the tactics used in this hybrid war by U.S. imperialism against the country, which possesses the largest oil reserves in the world.

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – If Mr. Trump decides to continue to pursue the canal's return, he will find an onion to peel, and as he peels it, he will see that the Monroe Doctrine is a dead letter and that China now controls ten or more deep-water ports, has its largest embassy in the Bahamas very near American shores, and has even established space-observation...
The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari USA (Ret.) – President-elect Trump's social media posts targeting Panama have sparked tensions, centering on control of the Panama Canal and immigration policy. With calls for a new Monroe Doctrine, concerns grow over rising Chinese influence. As U.S. and Panamanian leaders react, the stakes in the geopolitical and information struggle continue to escalate.
In this conversation, Carl Jackson discusses the evolving political landscape, focusing on how Democrats may cooperate with Trump to co-opt his agenda. He explores the implications of this strategy for the upcoming elections and the cultural impact on a new class of voters who feel disconnected from traditional milestones of adulthood. Jackson emphasizes the importance of addressing economic and social issues to restore faith in the American dream.

In this week's episode, we discuss the World Health Organization, Greenland, Panama, and how Trump plans to interact with all of the above. Is it moral to ask for, buy, or take, other people's land? We need to remember the Monroe Doctrine. Also: the Southern Poverty Law Center puts out an annual hate map, in which they showcase hate groups like “anti-government groups” that promote “conspiratorial and dubious views of government…as evidenced by the movement's popular rhetoric on such issues as COVID-19 regulation.” Also on the SPLC's hate list: people who don't think that drag queen story hours promote literacy. While claiming to challenge “binary gender roles,” trans ideology actually does the opposite.
