President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
I’m not talking about the U.S. I’m simply clarifying that Venezuela is not a sovereign country. It hasn’t been since 2013 when its elections were rigged after Chavez died.
