Answer:

The Roosevelt Corollary put pressure on Latin American countries, because it meant that the United States would directly intervene in Latin American countries in case they did not act in the United States best interests.

This actually happened when Venezuela was not paying a debt that it had with Germany. Germany threatened with military action, and because the United States did not want European powers meddling in Latin America, the United States obliged Venezuela to pay off the debt.
