This headline likely refers to the 'Drago Doctrine,' not 'Donroe,' which was a principle proposed by Argentine diplomat Luis María Drago in the early 20th century. It asserted that no foreign power could use armed force to collect public debts owed by American nations. The article probably discusses how Venezuela's current economic and political crises, including its substantial debt to various international creditors and the U.S. sanctions, challenge or are being viewed through the lens of this historical doctrine, especially concerning potential foreign intervention or asset seizure.
