US intervention-- this statement is connected to Teddy Roosevelt's foreign policy statement the Roosevelt Corollary.
Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt stated the US would be a policing power in the Western Hemisphere. Building on the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt promised military backing to their intervention in Latin America. Well-governed countries could count on the US to be friendly and an economic partner. While, poorly organized countries could expect the US to intervene when freedom was being threatened. Regardless, the US would be involved in the affairs of Latin American countries.
