The Truman Doctrine was a policy set forth by the U.S. President Harry Truman in a speech on Mar. 12 1947 stating that the U.S. would support Greece and Turkey with economic and military aid to prevent their falling into the Soviets grasp. It would be the policy of the Untied States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.
