How Trump’s revival of the Monroe Doctrine undermines US interests

AI Summary
The article discusses how a revived Monroe Doctrine, aggressively pursued by the U.S., could undermine its own interests. It contrasts the U.S.'s focus on hemispheric control with China's global initiatives, such as the Global Civilization Initiative, which promotes dialogue and cooperation among different civilizations. The U.S. National Security Strategy expresses concerns about the erosion of Western civilization, mirroring domestic anxieties among conservatives. Recently, the U.S. has targeted Venezuela, framing it as securing its "backyard." The article argues that this inward focus and withdrawal from international organizations is counterproductive in an interconnected world facing global crises. The author suggests Trump's retreat into a geographically defined "sphere of influence" is at odds with the need for global cooperation.
