Listen up, patriots—President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell national security plan on Dec. 5, 2025, that’s set to reclaim America’s backyard with a modern twist on an old classic.
According to Fox News, through a detailed 33-page blueprint, Trump pledges to enforce the historic Monroe Doctrine with a fresh 'Trump Corollary,' aiming to boost U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere by forging stronger alliances, expanding influence, and tackling threats like migration and drug trafficking with military and economic might.
Let’s start at the roots with the Monroe Doctrine, rolled out by President James Monroe on Dec. 2, 1823, as a stern warning to European powers to keep their hands off the Western Hemisphere through meddling or colonization.
Though initially brushed off by European nations, the U.S. Office of the Historian points out that this doctrine grew into a bedrock of American foreign policy over time.
Now, Trump’s administration insists that a stable Western Hemisphere, with nations united against harmful foreign sway, is vital to national security.
Enter the 'Trump Corollary,' a vow to reassert American leadership in the region, safeguarding the homeland and critical areas from adversarial encroachment.
The strategy boils down to two powerful words: enlist and expand, with plans to rally trusted allies to curb migration flows, halt drug smuggling, and bolster security.
On the expansion front, the blueprint seeks to nurture new ties, positioning the U.S. as the go-to economic and security partner for nations across the hemisphere.
Under the enlist approach, collaboration with regional partners who share U.S. goals—or even those with differing views—is key to stabilizing the area and countering shared dangers beyond borders.
The plan doesn’t shy from military adjustments, calling for a reevaluation of U.S. presence, including a beefed-up Coast Guard and Navy to secure sea routes and fight illegal migration and trafficking. Economically, it pushes for partner nations to strengthen their own markets, turning the region into a prime spot for American business and investment opportunities.
Yet, the blueprint warns of non-hemispheric rivals gaining ground, creating economic drawbacks and future risks, and insists alliances and aid hinge on dialing back such adversarial ties.
To combat this, the U.S. is already exposing the unseen pitfalls—like espionage and cyber threats—of partnering with outside actors, pitching American goods as the smarter long-term bet.
At home, the strategy demands tighter government-private sector teamwork, with embassies on alert for business prospects, while globally, it extends policies to regions like Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Declaring the end of unchecked migration and prioritizing border control as national security’s core, this plan is a wake-up call to ditch globalist distractions and focus on America first—let’s hope it’s the reset we need against progressive overreach in foreign affairs.
