Vincent Rigby on Unpacking the U.S. Strategy | The Globe and Mail
January 7, 2026 |听Vincent Rigby joined the Globe and Mail to discuss the details of Trump's national security strategy and what it means for the U.S. government's next moves. Rigby notes that Trump's use of the Monroe Doctrine is a message that "toes the line" with other states in the Western Hemisphere, encouraging cooperation among its allies and the desire to expand that list of countries, even if it requires force.听
Rigby mentioned that while the U.S. national security strategy did not mention specific countries, the emphasis on securing strategic locations and assets aligns with their incursion in Venezuela.听He states that the actions were taken directly from the strategy's pages, sending a message that Trump is determined to fulfill his agenda.
Rigby further discussed a concern for Canada, offset by the United States' actions in Venezuela and its desire for a greater US presence in the Arctic, highlighting the need to increase its military presence in Greenland.
