He wanted to increase the power of the United States in the world by establishing more presence in foreign places such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, acquired by the US after its victory over Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898. He supported some imperialistic ideas such as the spread of American values abroad. He believed in diplomacy but was ready to use military force. This foreign policy was known as the "Big Stick."

He supported the presence of the US engineers to built the Pana Canal and developed the concept of the "Roosevelt Corollary," which send a clear message to European nations that the issues of Latin America were going to be handled by teh US federal government. No more European intervention in Latin American affairs.
