What three roles does Theodore Roosevelt foresee the United states playing in the Caribbean?

Theodore Roosevelt foresaw the United States playing three pivotal roles in the Caribbean: as a stabilizing force to prevent European intervention, as an economic power that would promote trade and investment, and as a protector of smaller nations to ensure their sovereignty and political stability. He believed that the U.S. should act as a police power, particularly highlighted by the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted the right to intervene in Latin American countries to maintain order and protect American interests. This approach aimed to foster regional stability while expanding U.S. influence in the region.
