President Donald Trump is now keeping at arm’s length a phrase he mentioned while announcing how the U.S. would “run” Venezuela after America’s abduction of the South American country’s president.
On Thursday, Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Trump about the term “Donroe doctrine,” a play on the Monroe Doctrine, former President James Monroe’s 1823 policy that stated the U.S. would consider any meddling in the Americas by European nations a hostile act.
“Are you calling it the ‘Donroe doctrine?’“ Hannity asked, after giving his own explanation of the policy.
