True.
Panama was a part of Colombia but was fighting for independence from 1899 to 1902. Colombia rejected a deal with the US to build the canal, so the US backed Panama's claim of independence in return for permanent ownership of a strip of land 50 miles long and 10 miles wide through which they could build and operate the canal. It was completed 11 years later.

Roosevelt wanted to build a Panama Canal. Colombia refused to agree to a settlement for the Isthmus of Panama. Roosevelt assisted the Panamanians in revolting against Colombia. When Panama declared its' independence, the US was quick to officially recognize its' independence. The US then successfully negotiated a treaty with Panama to build the Canal.
The Colombian government had been blocking U.S. plans to build a canal in Panama.
