00:00You raised Venezuela. That, of course, is part of the new so-called Don Roe Doctrine,
00:03where we are seeing this Trump administration, this U.S. government, perhaps the most involved
00:07in Latin America that we've seen in decades. Is that necessarily a good thing?
00:12I think it's great.
00:13You have no reservations about that.
00:15Absolutely. I fully support. I think this is something that we have been aiming for a very long time.
00:21We have a long history of good relations with the U.S., regardless of who was the president
00:26and what party they were representing. But the reality is that always we have a closer relation
00:31with a Republican government rather than Democrats.
00:35So this time Trump came with a different approach, much faster on deciding on things
00:42and paying a lot of attention to the Western sphere.
00:44So when the new national security strategy came out and they start talking about revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine,
00:52I think it's a good idea.
00:53I mean, it's not that we're going to be the same countries that we were 200 years ago.
00:58We are completely different.
00:59And the type of partnership that we have built is different now, is stronger,
01:03and we see each other as an ally.
01:05So it's not that the U.S. will colonize the countries in the Western sphere.
