The Roosevelt Corollary: Group of answer choices was the Roosevelt Administration's policy of supporting U.S. investments abroad
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Proclaimed the right of the United States to police the Caribbean areas.

Explanation:

In 1904, after the Venezuela crisis, President Theodore Roosevelt in his State of the Union address made an addition to the Monroe Doctrine known as the Roosevelt Corollary.

The Roosevelt Corollary proclaimed the right of the United States to police the Caribbean areas.

This ultimately implies that, United States of America will have the powers to intervene in any conflict between the European countries (Germany, Britain and Italy) and Latin American countries (Caribbean and Central America) to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers instead of having them press their claims or charges directly on the Latin American countries. Also, that the United States of America has the right to use the international police (Interpol) to restore law and order around the world.
