The Opportunity for a Renewed Monroe Doctrine | 1/30/25

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.
