In the 1920s and 1930s, the Democratic party was the party of free trade, while the Republican party was more protectionist. The 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariff was based by a Republican Congress and the Republican President at the time- Hoover.

Roosevelt promised to lower tariffs on a bilateral basis, and there were moves towards freer trade. However, given that the nation was mired in Depression, Americans were much more concerned with domestic issues rather than tariffs.

Teddy Roosevelt's favorite proverb was "Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far." Big Stick diplomacy was Roosevelt's way of pressuring foreign leaders to do what he wanted them to do. An example of this style of diplomacy was when Roosevelt practically decided that The United States would be the police of the Americas.
