WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 November 4, 2026.<\/strong> The White House is promoting President Donald Trump’s so-called “Donroe Doctrine,” a foreign policy strategy aimed at strengthening American influence across the Western Hemisphere. In a social media post highlighting a November 3 New York Post article, the administration claimed that its approach has expanded U.S. regional dominance through diplomatic agreements, anti-cartel operations and efforts to reduce China’s influence in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS THE \u201cDONROE DOCTRINE\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term combines Trump’s name with the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 U.S. foreign policy declaration opposing European intervention in the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The administration uses the modern expression to describe a strategy emphasizing U.S. leadership, regional security cooperation and resistance to rival powers seeking greater economic or military influence in the hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporters portray the policy as a restoration of American geopolitical influence, while critics question whether it could encourage interventionism or undermine the sovereignty of neighboring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS CONTROL OVER TWO-THIRDS OF THE HEMISPHERE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The New York Post article highlighted by the White House argues that Trump’s strategy has strengthened American influence over nearly two-thirds of the Western Hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claim is based on the administration’s relationships with regional governments, security arrangements and political developments involving countries traditionally aligned with Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the expression “control” does not establish that the United States exercises legal authority over those territories. Diplomatic alignment, economic influence and territorial sovereignty are different concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No universally accepted geopolitical measurement establishes that Washington controls two-thirds of the hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Donroe Doctrine is taking back the Western Hemisphere.
