Answer:
President James Monroe and President Theodore Roosevelt shared the viewpoint that Latin America should be a particular region of focus for the United States.
Explanation:
Both presidents considered Latin America as a region in which the United States had to put a special focus, as Latin America was the nearest region to the United States, and its stability would contribute to the stability of America.
With this criterion, President Monroe adopted the Monroe Doctrine, which sought to limit European participation in the affairs of Latin America, reserving this power only to the United States.
In turn, President Roosevelt expanded the Monroe Doctrine through the Roosevelt Corollary, which authorized American intervention in Latin American affairs that endangered the stability of the region or the interests of the United States.
