The correct answer is False.

During the Cold War, the U.S. leaders pursued a foreign policy goal in Latin America, but it was not to fund socialist takeovers of democratic governments. In fact, the U.S. government was actively opposed to the spread of socialism and communism in the region. The U.S. implemented policies like the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan to support countries in resisting communism. The U.S. also frequently intervened militarily in Latin American countries to prevent or overthrow governments that were perceived as communist or socialist threats. Therefore, rather than funding socialist takeovers, the U.S. sought to prevent such takeovers and maintain democratic governments in the region.
