US State Dept: Western Hemisphere is our zone

The official account of the U.S. Department of State posted the phrase "This is OUR Hemisphere." The message also stated that President Trump would not allow threats to U.S. security in the region. This provocative reaction refers to the classical Monroe Doctrine: "America for Americans." Besides the English version, the Russian-language account displayed a warning saying "Don't play games with President Trump," and a similar version was posted on the Persian account. Thus, the State Department reminds the world that only the United States sets the rules in the Western Hemisphere.

Context

The Monroe Doctrine of 1818 proclaimed the inviolability of the American continent from interference by European powers. Today, it is mentioned as a symbol of American dominant policy in the region.
