He wanted an Open Door Policy in china—allowing everyone to trade with China.

5. Roosevelt saw construction of a canal through Central America as vital to American power in the world. A canal would save time and money for both commercial and military shipping. The US offered Colombia $10 million for the right to construct a canal but they said no. So then the US persuaded some Panamanians to revolt against the Colombia government with our help.
