From NATO to the Monroe Doctrine: Trump’s Plan to Reshape America’s Role in the World

Trump escalates the Greenland crisis by slapping tariffs on European allies - but this episode isn’t just about Greenland. It’s about a much bigger shift in US foreign policy. We break down how the Trump administration is reviving the Monroe Doctrine, what that actually means, and why it helps explain everything from Greenland and Canada to Venezuela, Panama, and China’s influence in the Western Hemisphere. We also look at what this strategy means for NATO, Europe, and America’s role in the world - and why U.S. foreign policy is moving away from global dominance toward a far more transactional, interest-driven approach.
