Comicomment: U.S. Monroe Doctrine a blight on Latin America

Source:Ecns.cn 2024-09-16

(ECNS)-- Back in December 1823, then U.S. President James Monroe put forward the idea that America is for Americans in his annual State of the Union address to Congress. The Monroe Doctrine thus became the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy. Waving the banner of the Monroe Doctrine, the United States, through military invasions and political intervention, annexed the territories of Latin American and Caribbean countries, occupied strategic locations, and constantly interfered in the domestic and foreign affairs of Latin American countries to expand its sphere of influence and maximize its interests.

In today's world, peace and development prevail, and the drive to democratize international relations is unstoppable. U.S. hegemonic actions violate the U.N. Charter and basic international norms, while facing increasing resistance from the people of Latin America and Caribbean countries. These actions go against the tide of history and are destined to fail.
