Foreign Policies after 1945 include the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, containment of communism with in the U.S.S.R., and The establishment of NATO.
Greece and Turkey were two of the first nations to receive aid under the Truman Doctrine. The doctrine aimed to provide economic and military assistance to countries threatened by communism following World War II.
The US countered Soviet threats to free nations by establishing the Marshall Plan and running the Berlin airlift. The US also established NATO, opposed the Korean War, and established the Truman Doctrine.

NATO Doctrine
Enunciation of the Truman Doctrine marked the beginning of a US ... his vision of a post-war Germany did not include the ability to rearm or pose any .... Among other effects, the Korean War galvanised NATO to develop a military structure
The policy of containment was the theory that communism was scattered and could be contained as a method of preventing its spread. The Truman Doctrine supported United States intervention whenever the Soviet Union attempted to take authoritarian control, or pressure smaller democratic countries. The Marshall Plane provided restoration funding for the allies, with the exclusion of Russia. NATO formed a group that would join with the other member countries to protect countries from invasion or aggression from belligerent countries. The four policies served the purpose of uniting the allies, containing the communist threat, promising to assist countries who were being bullied upon by the Soviet Union, and joining other NATO allies in keeping peace in western Europe.
One of the most significant outcomes of the Truman Doctrine was the Vietnam War. The Truman Doctrine dictated that communism must be contained at all costs. Had the U.S. not been so terrified of the spread of communism, it would not have tried so hard for so long to defeat the Vietcong army. However, I think the answer you may be looking for is the Greek Civil War. President Truman gave 300 million dollars to the Greek government, to help them fight the communists in their own country. This was done in May 1947, and the Truman Doctrine had been introduced just a few months earlier, in February 1947.
II and III The Truman Doctrine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are examples of America's plan to contain (block) Soviet expansion.In 1946, communists were attempting to seize control of Greece and Turkey. When Greece asked the U.N. for help, the Soviet Union used its veto to block U.N. action. Truman feared that without help, the democratic governments of Greece and Turkey would fall. So in a statement, which became known as the Truman Doctrine, Truman said that the U.S. would send military supplies to any country threatened by "outsiders." The Truman Doctrine became the first part of the U.S. policy to contain communist expansion.In 1949 another step was taken to contain Soviet expansion. The U.S., Canada, and ten Western European countries formed a military alliance called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). These nations agreed to help each other if any were attacked by the Soviet Union.
