President Hoover introduced the "Good Neighbor Policy" and President Franklin Roosevelt later built upon it as part of his New Deal
Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the policy known as the "Big Stick" or the Roosevelt Corollary. This policy was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine and asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American countries to protect its economic and political interests. With the Good Neighbor Policy, Roosevelt aimed to improve relations with Latin American nations and promote cooperation and non-intervention.
Theodore Roosevelt relied on big-stick diplomacy. His famous saying was "Speak softly but carry a big stick." He was very aggressive in his foreign policy. For example, when Colombia rejected the treaty giving the United States the right to build the Panama Canal, Roosevelt actually backed a revolution in Panama and signed the treaty with the revolutionaries. Teddy Roosevelt also issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. This policy enabled the United States to intervene in Latin American affairs. Needless to say, the Roosevelt Corollary and its creator were very unpopular in Latin America. On the other hand, Franklin Roosevelt's policy was called the Good Neighbor Policy. FDR basically announced that the United States would no longer intervene in Latin America's affairs. He kept his word, pulling Marines out of Haiti. When a crisis came up with Mexico, Roosevelt was able to negotiate successfully. Though some Latin American countries remained suspicious of United States policies, Franklin Roosevelt was an admired figure in Latin America.

America's ealry foreign policy tended toward isolationism.
Theodore Roosevelt wanted the United States to be a world power. He wanted a strong navy and the Panama Canal was a way to move the navy to where it needed to be quicker than ships going around South America. He was worried about European nations involved in Latin America having a base to later attack the US.
He found it distasteful, preferring work relief over cash subsidies.
President Theodore Roosevelt justified America's increased involvement in Latin America on both economic and national security reasons. Note however, his interests were primarily in Central America, plus Colombia-Panama, which at that time was one country, governed from Bogota. In order to finish the Panama Canal, he orchestrated Panama's independence, and his interests in Central America were due to safeguarding America's booming fruit exports.

It was during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt that American politics became more about a president-centered government. Roosevelt was president from 1933 to 1945.
