Jeffrey Sachs, Glenn Diesen: Trump’s Distorted Version of the Monroe Doctrine
by Glenn Diesen [12-12-2025].
(RAD: This is an excellent discussion about the original Monroe Doctrine vs how it has been perverted over time. Trump has perverted it even more. In effect, Trump is saying that only the US has the right to dictate what happens in the Americas, including South America & Central America. China isn't allowed to have economic trade with Latin & Central America. Trump completely ignores the intent of the original Monroe Doctrine. Listen & learn. — RAD)
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs discusses what a renewed Monroe Doctrine could be an anti-imperialist initiative that recognises spheres of security, or it could facilitate US imperialism and be pursued without agreement with the other great powers.
