The two correct statements that best reflect Theodore Roosevelt's beliefs about U.S. foreign policy in the Americas are:
- The U.S. should police Latin America and had the right to do so.
- The U.S. should protect Latin America from Europe by occupying it.
These reflect Roosevelt's views as articulated in the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted that the U.S. had the right to intervene in Latin America to maintain stability and prevent European intervention.
