| John Bolton: 'We're not afraid to use the word Monroe Doctrine' |
| 2019-03-03 |
| h/t Instapundit John Bolton, President Trump's national security adviser, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" the administration is returning to an early U.S. foreign policy principle: the Monroe Doctrine. When pressed on why the U.S. has chosen to aggressively pressure Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro while going easier on other brutal regimes around the world, Bolton said the White House is making a concerted effort to be involved in the affairs of its own hemisphere first and foremost. He also took a jab at previous administrations for not taking more seriously the "political experiment" of a socialized Latin America, known by foreign policy experts as "the pink tide." |

| #1 Perhaps because some previous administrations welcomed and encouraged the pink tide. |
