President Donald Trump’s administration has adopted a more aggressive foreign policy, exemplified by the recent military operation against Venezuela, dubbed Operation Absolute Resolve, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. This action reflects a departure from international law, aligning with Trump’s “Don-roe Doctrine,” which positions the U.S. to take preemptive measures against perceived threats in the Western Hemisphere. The justification for such actions includes accusations of narco-terrorism against Maduro, allowing the administration to bypass Congress. This approach mirrors previous administrations’ tactics, raising concerns about the legality and implications of such military engagements.
