[ noun ] (politics) an American foreign policy opposing interference in the Western hemisphere from outside powers
Used in print (87th Congress, 1st Session. Congressional Record....)Mr._Speaker , in my latest newsletter to my constituents I urged the imposition of a naval_blockade of Cuba as the only effective method of preventing continued Soviet armaments from coming into the Western_Hemisphere in violation of the Monroe_Doctrine . Russian tanks and planes in Cuba jeopardize the security of the United_States , violate the Monroe_Doctrine , and threaten the security of every other Latin_American republic . A naval_blockade would be thoroughly in line with the Monroe_Doctrine , would be a relatively simple operation to carry_out , and would bring an abrupt end to Soviet penetration of our hemisphere `` . Blockade , in the view of military and civilian experts , could restore teeth to the Monroe_Doctrine . In a broad sense , it would reaffirm the Monroe_Doctrine by opposing Communist interference in the Western_Hemisphere . Related terms |
