The concern over rising American imperialism to Indigenous people abroad and at home
President Donald Trump appears to have backed off his most urgent rhetoric, for now, around acquiring Greenland against the will of nearly every European nation and the vast majority of Americans.

But the threat of a potential takeover of Greenland and other sovereign nations remains, with Trump officials also putting Cuba, Colombia and even Canada and Mexico on notice for what Trump himself refers to as the “Donroe Doctrine,” a reference to the 200-year-old foreign policy asserting America’s dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

The momentum for such imperialistic rhetoric is a reminder of a dark time for Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples potentially in Trump’s path.
