The chaotic, brutal imposition of the \u2018Donroe Doctrine\u2019 has overshadowed the start of 2026. But is Trump partly driven by insecurity about gathering left-wing victories in the Western hemisphere \u2014 and is a new left Atlanticism possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 4 December 2025, Donald Trump\u2019s second US presidency published its National Security Strategy. An ominous document, the NSS was both an embodiment of long-running trends and a sign that a step change in the Trump project was underway. On the one hand, Trump\u2019s tendency towards isolationism in foreign affairs seemed to be confirmed by talk of rejecting the post-Cold War order (in which \u2018American foreign policy elites convinced themselves that permanent American domination of the entire world was in the best interests of our country\u2019). Now, the NSS claimed, US intervention in far-flung countries would be curtailed. \u2018The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas,\u2019 it tartly announced, \u2018are over.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But along with such rhetoric, the NSS also contained portents of a different, darker strain in the Trump ground plan \u2014 a tendency that would surface spectacularly in the early days of 2026. As the NSS made clear (and as the subsequent kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and the ructions over Greenland have underlined), the US is morphing into a new kind of belligerent in the global power struggle. Under the sign of the so-called Donroe Doctrine, the Trump administration is burrowing deeper into its own hemisphere, imagining itself to be the potentate of a fantasy Greater USA stretching from Pole to Pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
