d. He wanted to strengthen relations with Latin America in a time of international danger.

Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy (beginning 1933) emphasized non‑intervention and cooperation to secure hemispheric solidarity and goodwill—both to counter growing global threats (fascist/Axis influence) and to ensure Latin American support for the U.S. in a tense international environment.
