Description: The Good Neighbor Policy, established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, marked a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America. It emphasized non-intervention in the affairs of Latin American nations, mutual respect, and economic cooperation through trade agreements. This policy led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Haiti and Nicaragua and the abrogation of the Platt Amendment. It aimed to cultivate goodwill and establish better relationships with America's southern neighbors.
