Great connection. I knew standing in front of that painting wasn’t random.
World leaders were kissing up to Macron at the last get together ... and I think the guy in the painting is French ... maybe France took the lead on interference? There’s plenty of art depicting the Monroe Doctrine. Why that one?
Re Painting:
I was wrong. He’s not French. I found this:
The Doctrine of Monroe - Item # 1019803
By Ferris, Jean Leon Jerome (1863-1930). Originally oil on canvas. (Additional Information - attempt to make Venezuela’s President Cipriano Castro to recognize his country’s financial obligations Roosevelt (1858-1919) Wilhelm (1859-1941) British warships also involved Roosevelt corollary to the Monroe Doctrine)

Roosevelt’s corollary to Doctrine:
The corollary stated that not only were the nations of the Western Hemisphere not open to colonization by European powers, but that the United States had the responsibility to preserve order and protect life and property in those countries.
“Chronic wrongdoing...may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation,” he announced in his annual message to Congress in December 1904, “and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police power.”
Roosevelt tied his policy to the Monroe Doctrine, and it was also consistent with his foreign policy of “walk softly, but carry a big stick.” Roosevelt stated that in keeping with the Monroe Doctrine, the United States was justified in exercising “international police power” to put an end to chronic unrest or wrongdoing in the Western Hemisphere.

Trump revives Monroe Doctrine as warning to China and Russia
Latin American countries long demonised the doctrine which historically gave Washington a blank cheque to intervene.
“It has been the formal policy of our country since President Monroe that we reject the interference of foreign nations in this hemisphere,” said Trump.
