Answer:

The two countries that were engaged in a negotiation that the Lodge Corollary disallowed were Mexico and Japan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lodge Corollary, approved by the United States Senate in 1912, expanded the Monroe doctrine to also cover the actions of corporations and associations controlled by foreign states.

In 1912, it seemed that Japanese businessmen were about to buy huge tracts of land from Baja California, in Mexico, on the border with southern California. Lodge proposed and the Senate ratified what has come to be known as the Lodge Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. The United States would not allow foreign interests of any kind to grant to a foreign government "a power of control for practical purposes" over any territory in this hemisphere. The Japanese government immediately denied that it had any relationship with the investors and the sales deals of the Baja, if there had been any, evaporated.
