Trump Flexes Donroe Doctrine, Threatens Latvia Then Asks About Greenland Price
KEY POINTS
- â˘On January 7, 2026, the U.S. Coast Guard seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker alleged to violate Venezuelan sanctions, near a Russian submarine.
- â˘Before the raid in Caracas, a senior Chinese envoy met with NicolĂĄs Maduro, highlighting foreign influence ties that Trump aims to dismantle.
- â˘Trumpâs administration demands Venezuelaâs interim government expel Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and Cuban intelligence officers amid Greenland 'purchase' talks with Denmark.
On January 7, 2026, President Trump unveiled his 'Donroe Doctrine,' a MAGA remix of the 1800s Monroe Doctrine, treating the Western Hemisphere like his personal influencer turf â no outsiders allowed, not even Russia, China, Iran, or NATO's Denmark (yes, Denmarkâs now a suspect over Greenland). Days earlier, U.S. Coast Guard heroes played treasure hunter by seizing a Russian-flagged oil tanker allegedly sneaking Venezuelan oil past U.S. sanctions, mid-submarine shadow party in the North Atlantic. Meanwhile, a senior Chinese envoy had a cozy midnight chinwag with NicolĂĄs Maduro in Caracas before the U.S. raid, prompting Trumpâs camp to demand expulsion of foreign spies from Maduroâs leftover fan club. Greenlandâs up for âpurchaseâ talks, shaking Denmark-NATOâs team spirit harder than a reality TV elimination round. In short, Trump's turning the Americas into his own Fight Club where the first rule is you donât actually share power.
