John Diefenbaker's Latin American policy was based on his vision of
Canada's national interest, which placed a strong emphasis on the
achievement of greater autonomy in foreign policy for Canada
vis-a-vis the US and the expansion of Canadian exports to the
region. Though Diefenbaker was often accused of being driven by
anti-Americanism, instead his Latin American policy was based on
his vision of Canada's national interest.For Diefenbaker, an
enhanced relationship with Latin America had the potential to
lessen Canada's dependency on the US, while giving Latin American
countries an outlet for their trade, commercial and financial
relations other than the US. This new approach implied that Canada
would formulate and implement policy that focused more on Canadian
political interests and goals. It was not a matter of charting a
totally independent policy from the US in Latin America - true
policy independence was impossible to achieve. Nor was it the case
that Canada would necessarily set itself in opposition to the US
when it disagreed with its policies. For Diefenbaker the goal was
to pursue a foreign policy that was aligned with, but not
subservient to, the US.
