The US project of imperial domination grows more dangerous by the day, increasingly conscious of its own decadence and decline. U.S. domination over Latin America and the Caribbean has shed its last pretense. Under the Trump administration, imperial aggression is no longer hidden behind diplomacy or ideology—it is now declared openly, pursued shamelessly, and enforced with brutal force.
The mask has fallen. The U.S. now exercises the Monroe Doctrine in its most extreme form, declaring the entire American continent its unquestionable domain. It has demanded unfettered access to the continent’s natural resources, defied the UN Charter, and, in Donald Trump’s own words, affirmed that there are “no limits” to its imperial ambitions.
The military intervention against Venezuela, which culminated in the illegal kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, marks a new moment of brazen disregard for international law by an administration that has not hesitated to act with aggression.
The unconditional support for the genocide of Palestinians continues to stand as a warning for the levels of violence the US imperial project is capable of. To date, the Trump administration in its second term has bombed a total of seven countries, shattering any illusion of restraint.
We stand at the brink of the erosion of multilateral institutions and international law. These institutions have thus far failed to stop the genocide in Palestine. They will not stop Trump’s imperial campaign for control of the Western Hemisphere. From the proposed annexation of Canada to the acquisition of Greenland, from the seizure of the Panama Canal to the theft of Venezuelan oil, and the threats leveraged against Cuba, the Trump administration is pursuing a continental campaign of naked imperial domination that threatens the sovereignty of all nations.
On January 20th, the first anniversary of the Trump administration, the world must rise to confront the growing threat of Trump and US imperialism. In every continent, we call on people to mobilize to declare that our sovereignty is not for sale, our resources are not for your plunder, and our future will not be determined in Washington.
Only the resistance and action in common of people around the world can defeat Trump and his imperialist agenda!
