Latin America analyst, ex-ambassador split on Trump Doctrine

Season 2026 Episode 6 | 10m 43s

President Trump and his aides are now speaking of a foreign policy where pressure and the use of military might can be applied both to adversaries and, potentially, allies. Nick Schifrin has two views on the Trump Doctrine from Todd Robinson, who served as the top U.S. diplomat in Venezuela before being kicked out of the country, and Andrés Martínez-Fernández of The Heritage Foundation.
