The U.S. State Department published an image of Donald Trump, highlighting that the security of the Western Hemisphere is a priority and that external interference will not be tolerated.

On January 5, the U.S. State Department, led by Marco Rubio, released a photograph of Donald Trump, accompanied by the message 'This is our hemisphere', emphasizing the president's commitment to protecting national security. This post refers to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, which states that the U.S. will not tolerate foreign interference in the western hemisphere.

In the context of the national security strategy published by the White House in December 2025, the document emphasizes the importance of border security and mentions the challenges posed by China's influence in the region. The message was released on the day Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro pleaded not guilty before a federal judge in Manhattan, highlighting the geopolitical tensions in the hemisphere.
