WASHINGTON—The White House has responded after a group of House Democrats unveiled a resolution to annul the Monroe Doctrine, a foundational foreign policy that has become a cornerstone of President Donald Trump’s approach to the Americas.

“The administration is reasserting and enforcing the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, control migration, and stop drug trafficking,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement to The Epoch Times.
