President John F. Kennedy decided to support South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem primarily to counter the growing influence of communism in Southeast Asia. The U.S. viewed Diem as a bulwark against the spread of communism, particularly after the rise of the Viet Cong. Additionally, Kennedy believed that supporting a stable and anti-communist government in South Vietnam was crucial for the success of U.S. foreign policy in the region, especially in light of the Cold War dynamics.
