Sky News Analysis: Will Trump Stop in Venezuela?

The arrest of Nicolás Maduro by the United States marks a historic turning point in international politics, according to an analysis by Sky News. This move is not based on modern international norms, but on a foreign policy reminiscent of the 19th century and the Monroe Doctrine. Former President Trump had promoted a modern version of the Monroe Doctrine, the so-called “Donroe Doctrine,” which justifies taking action against countries considered hostile or criminal. Sky News wonders if Venezuela is just the beginning and whether other targets in the American “backyard” will follow, such as the cartels in Mexico, Cuba, and the cocaine laboratories in Colombia.
