dollar diplomacy
Dollar Diplomacy is a foreign policy strategy that involves using economic aid, investment, loans, and financial leverage to influence other countries' policies and actions in favor of the initiating country, rather than using military power. The term was first used to describe U.S. foreign policy under President William Howard Taft and Secretary of State Philander C. Knox in the early 20th century, for promoting and protecting American business and banking interests abroad, particularly in Latin America and East Asia.

Dollar Diplomacy
Dollar Diplomacy is the effort of the United States—particularly under President William Howard Taft—to further its aims in Latin America and East Asia through use of its economic power by guaranteeing loans made to foreign countries. The term was originally coined by President Theodore Roosevelt on account of money that made it possible to pay soldiers without having to fight; most would agree it was a considerably meager wage... The concept is relevant to both Liberia, where American loans were given in 1913, and Latin America. Latin Americans tend to use the term "Dollar Diplomacy" disparagingly to show their disapproval of the role that the U.S. government and U.S. corporations have played in using economic, diplomatic and military power to open up foreign markets.
