President Trump cares more about 'Don' than 'doctrine': former Washington insider

A week on from the dramatic capture of Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, the debate continues about the wider implications of the US action. Donald Trump has put many other countries on warning and renamed a two hundred year-old strategic document "the Donroe Doctrine."

Weekend speaks to John Bolton, veteran neo-conservative and former official in the Reagan, Bush and Trump administrations. He says President Trump is "more concerned with the next Trump casino ... than international spheres of influence."
