The Venezuelan government has formally requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council to condemn the United States. The move follows US President Donald Trump's claim on Saturday that the US military successfully captured Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and his wife during a large-scale attack. US media have described the development as a revival of the so-called "Donroe Doctrine," a term combining Donald Trump’s name with the Monroe Doctrine. Historically, the Monroe Doctrine declared the Western Hemisphere a US sphere of influence. Critics say its latest iteration is marked by blunt threats of force and a preference for unilateral sanctions over diplomacy. CGTN's Zhou Jiaxin explains the escalating tensions in the region.
