False.
Roosevelt's "big stick" diplomacy meant "speak softly and carry a big stick" — negotiate peacefully but back diplomacy with the threat or use of military force (especially naval power). Examples: the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, U.S. interventions in the Caribbean and Central America, and the Great White Fleet. It was not primarily about economic pressure.
